X10TOX11(1)                          SysV                          X10TOX11(1)



NAME
     x10tox11 - X version 10 to version 11 protocol converter

SYNOPSIS
     x10tox11 [-display host:display]

DESCRIPTION
     x10tox11 masquerades as an X Window System Version 10 server.  It enables
     an X Version 10 client to run unchanged under X Version 11 by converting
     Version 10 requests into appropriate Version 11 requests, and by
     converting all Version 11 events received from the server into Version 10
     events.  From the perspective of Version 10 clients, all Version 11
     clients look like Version 10 clients; and from the perspective of Version
     11 clients, all Version 10 clients just look like Version 11 clients.
     Hence, a Version 11 window manager can manipulate Version 10 clients.

     This program does NOT use the X10 libnest ddX library.  It does actual
     protocol translation, rather than simply using X11 graphics calls to
     implement X10 low level operations.  As a result, it is both faster and
     more robust than the X10 Xnest server.

TYPICAL USAGE
     The protocol converter must be run after the X11 server is running and
     should be run in the background:

     x10tox11 &

     The program will continue to run until you intentionally kill it or the
     X11 server is shut down.

OPTIONS
     -display host:display
          Standard option for specifying the X11 display to which you wish to
          be connected.  By default, it uses unix:0.0.  Note that x10tox11
          will always pretend to be an X10 server with the same display number
          as the X11 server to which it connects.  For example, if the DISPLAY
          environment variable or the -display option specifies fizzle:1.0,
          then x10tox11 will connect to the X11 server on host fizzle for
          display 1 and then will pretend to the the X10 server for display 1.
          Consequently, your X10 clients will expect to have the environment
          variable DISPLAY set to fizzle:1 (but they should still work even if
          your X10 clients use fizzle:1.0).

     MinimumTileSize=n
          Set minimum acceptable tile size to n.  There is a difference in
          semantics between X10's XQueryShape and X11's XQueryBestSize such
          that X11 will allow any tile size but will return the optimum
          whereas X10 enforced a minimum tile size.  Usually this minimum tile
          size was 16 and this is the default for x10tox11. If you find that
          this makes your X10 clients break, then you can override it with
          this option.

     help
          This prints out a usage message and exits.

     NoOverrideRedirect
          This instructs x10tox11 to make every effort not to use
          OverrideRedirect when creating and mapping windows.  Normally,
          x10tox11 creates all windows with the OverrideRedirect attribute set
          to true.  Placing this option on the command line will cause
          x10tox11 not to use OverrideRedirect except for windows that look

          like they might be menus.  This will allow window managers that
          provide title bars to do so.  Unfortunately, it is impossible to
          determine ahead of time what an X10 client intends to do with
          windows.  In addition, X10 clients are known to spontaneously unmap
          their windows which upsets X11 window managers unless the
          OverrideRedirect attribute is true.  Further, some X11 window
          managers may refuse to resize or move windows that are marked with
          OverrideRedirect.  This may can be fixed to some extent when an
          Inter Client Communications Convention Manual (ICCCM) is adopted by
          the X11 community.

BUGS
     There are limitations with respect to emulating Version 10 through a
     Version 11 server.  See the file /usr/lib/X/x10tox11.help for more
     details.

     Some window managers may refuse to move, resize or perform any operations
     on X10 client windows because, by default,

     If the source is compiled with certain flags, there are significant
     debugging facilities available.  Using the help option will tell you
     whether debugging facilities are available.  x10tox11 marks them with
     OverrideRedirect.  See OPTIONS above.
