Hello,
AFAIK yes, I just testet with startx:
startx(25961)-xinit(25968)+XFree86(25969)
`-sh(25973)+WindowMaker(26026)-asclock(26031)
`-ssh-agent(26025)
any children of 25973 (including the windowmanager) have it in the
environment. See Xsession(5) for details.
BTW I just recompiled your package on woody (it is big!) and gave it a
short shot with mozilla, the results were amazing, it worked and I
could print http://piology.org/entities.html[1] - If I used the normal
postscript printer-driver of mozilla only ~50% of the special characters
were printed.
OTOH the quality was quite bad, blurred and greyish looking. Once I try
to configure the beast it might get better.
How does xprint print? Does it call /usr/bin/lpr? If it does, it might
be nice to make it possible to use it without local spooling and a
without a local lprng-daemon.
thanks for the work, cu andreas
