Patch Installation Instructions:
--------------------------------
Refer to the man pages for instructions on using 'patchadd' and 'patchrm'
scripts provided with Solaris. Any other special or non-generic
installation instructions should be described below as special
instructions. The following example installs a patch to a standalone
machine:
example# patchadd /var/spool/patch/104945-02
The following example removes a patch from a standalone system:
example# patchrm 104945-02
For additional examples please see the appropriate man pages.

NOTE 3: In order to get full functionality of fix 4452627, please also
install the following patch:
109354-13 (or greater) CDE 1.4: dtsession patch
Special Notes:
--------------
NOTE 1: RFE 4293551 dtsession in xinerama mode should (optionally) not
center the logout dialog box
=====================================================================
Sun(tm) delivers a version of CDE that has been extended to provide
some basic support when run in multi-headed Xinerama mode.
This support is to make the positioning of the following CDE dialogs
resource configurable:
- Login (a.k.a. dtgreet)
- Logout Confirmation
- Unlock Display
- Restart Workspace Confirmation
- Move/Resize Coordinates.
The reason for making these dialogs configurable in terms of their
window positioning is obvious, they are all non-movable. That is,
these dialogs are all centered in the logical screen regardless
of the number of physical monitors available. Without the ability
to configure these dialogs, they will be split across monitors and
will cause many ease-of-use issues.
CDE patches (108921-08, 109354-05, 108919-05k, or newer) and the
Xsun patch (108652-19, or newer), when installed together, allow
the user to configure the positioning of the previously mentioned
dialogs using the following X resources:
xineramaDefaultFramebuffer
xineramaCenterHintX
xineramaCenterHintY
Resource Description
========================
If the xineramaDefaultFramebuffer resource has a value between 0
and (n-1), within the Xinerama screen, then dialogs will be
centered on that framebuffer.
If the xineramaDefaultFramebuffer resource has value of -1, then
dialogs will be centered using the values in xineramaCenterHintX
and xineramaCenterHintY.
To set resources system-wide, copy Xresources and sys.resources
from /usr/dt/config/C to /etc/dt/config/C and add the appropriate
lines.
Setting resources in the Xresources file affects Login, while
setting them in sys.resources affects Logout Confirmation,
Unlock Display, Restart Workspace Confirmation, and Move/Resize
Coordinates.
Note that the resources for dtlogin, and thus the position of
the Login dialog, cannot be set on a per-user basis on a single
machine because dtgreet is run from root before the user is
identified. The position of the other dialogs can be set on a
per-user basis by creating or modifying the appropriate resource
files in the user's HOME directory, .Xdefaults.
The X resources have no effect if Xinerama is not being used or
if their default values are -1.
Example of using these resources
================================
The following are a few examples assuming a two-headed system.
1) To set Login, Logout Confirmation, Restart Workspace Manager
Confirmation, Unlock Display and the Resize/Move Coordinate
dialogs centered on the first screen:
*xineramaDefaultFramebuffer: 0
in both Xresources and sys.resources files.
Alternatively to have these dialogs centered on the second
screen:
*xineramaDefaultFramebuffer: 1
in both Xresources and sys.resources files.
2) If desired, these dialogs do not have to be centered on a
particular screen. Instead you can position them anywhere
within the entire Xinerama screen by setting their X and Y
coordinates. Taking a two-headed system, each screen is
1024 pixels high by 1024 pixels wide, it is possible to
place the dialogs in the lower left part of the second
screen. To position the dialogs 100 pixels to the left
of the second screen and 200 pixels from the bottom, set
the following resources:
*xineramaDefaultFramebuffer: -1
*xineramaCenterHintX: 1124
*xineramaCenterHintY: 824
