This might not be exactly what you want, but

	To turn off the banner edit
		/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XSessionManager

	and change 

		*displayLogo: yes

	to

		*displayLogo: no


If you are running pre - UWS 2.1, there is a whole bunch of other stuff you
can muck with in this file.

Under 2.1 they compiled (?) it in.  Maybe someone else knows how to change the 
other stuff?

    Under UWS V2.2 you can use a postscript program to replace the default
    logo. To do this setup the .Xdefaults file for root with these lines:
    
    XSessionManager*logoFile:      /.dpslogo
    XSessionManager*logoColor:     yellow
    
    Put into the file /.dpslogo whatever encapsulated postscript you like.
    Change the color to be your favorite, and logout. Watch the fun!
    
    Of course this means that given sufficient cleverness and inordinate
    amounts of free time you can make a moving logo, a shadowed logo, etc.
    
    Have fun,

    Don't for get to add a blank line or comment at the beginning
    of your postscript logo file if you're using UWS 2.2.  This works
    around a bug.
    

re: -.1

	Removing all "showpage" entries in the ps file eliminates one bug.
	The image will come up, then blank, leaving just the background and
	the login box.

	Is that the same bug?  

    No, that's not the bug I was talking about.  The problem is that the
    prompter adds a line of postscript to set the drawing color to that
    specified by XSessionManager*logoColor for color displays, and
    XSessionManager*logoBW for B&W displays.  But someone :-) forgot to
    add a newline so this command gets munged with the first line of
    the postscript file.
    
    Showpage is not an appropriate postscript operator for DPS, so the
    fact that you have to remove them is not really a "bug."  In the
    DPS extension, showpage effectively clears the window.
    

	I have a full-screen postscript image (a geisha).  When I set up the
	display to use it, only the lefthand 2/3's is displayed - the portion
	of the image to the right of where the 'L' in the default 'DIGITAL'
	logo would be, is not displayed.

					??

RE .6:
	I think there is a resource called *logoFullScreen.  Set this
	resource "true" and that should allow the full screen to be used
	as a logo.

		XSessionManager*logoFullScreen:	true


New question:  Does all of the above work under T4.0 (VAX)?  I have done a 
	strings on Xprompter and I only find a few of the [Ll]ogo 
	occurences.  I can't seem to get any results.  I have tried two 
	difference resources with no effect.

		XSessionManager*logoProgramName:	/my.ps
		XSessionManager*logoName:		/my.ps

	Also, does this file have to have something like bounding boxes or
	any other special PostScript items or comments?

    The window that the prompter uses for DPS display covers the full width
    of the screen.  The XSessionManager*logoFullScreen resource determines
    whether the window covers the full height of the screen, or if it just
    covers the portion above the dialog box.
    
    I can't see why your postscript image would get cut off on the right
    side.  Can you make it available to me or mail it to me (WSL::MIKEY)?
    
    If T4.0 is UWS 4.0, it should have the same prompter support as UWS
    2.2.  But if you used strings on Xprompter and got only logoProgramName
    and logoName, this would seem to indicate that you have an earlier
    version of the prompter, which ignores these resources.
    
    Your postscript file doesn't need any special comments.

I was working with T4.0 of UWS.  Everything works with T4.0-1.

Thanks,

David
