X/qt Rootless Mode Options

[ShiroiKuma]

On the X/Qt site you can see this screenshot of running in rootless mode.

This might be a solution to running individual X apps in Qtopia, i.e. being able to switch just to the app, not to the whole X/Qt desktop.

Does anyone have any experience with this? How do you start an app in X/Qt in rootless mode?

rename /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/Xqt-rootless1 to /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/Xqt-rootless-1
and
/opt/QtPalmtop/bin/Xqt-rootless2 to /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/Xqt-rootless-2

it should let you run two apps in rootless mode at a time. it should tell you to bugger off when you try to run a third one
i don't think its wise to run more anyway since the Z does not have that much cpu power and memory

personally, i dont like the rootless mode thing that much. it sounds like a good idea at first but once you play with it a bit more, you soon want to use the full xqt instead.

have you noticed you can cut and paste from qtopia into xqt?

rename /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/Xqt-rootless1 to /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/Xqt-rootless-1
and
/opt/QtPalmtop/bin/Xqt-rootless2 to /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/Xqt-rootless-2

Ok that makes it work Now

I agree, in fact i never shutdown Xqt (padXqtrom), it is always open, so no need to launch it each time

that is intresting as i am still using some applications under sharp rom

Thanks Meanie
