running xprop in an xterm
How to run a term window from a window manager menu, run xprop in the term, and have the term stay open to show the results when xprop is used.
xterm -e xprop runs the term and allows the use of xprop, but closes the term immediately after xprop is used, so that the results are not seen. tia. |
xterm -hold -e <command> - then close it with the wm's windowing controls. It's in the man page.
Maybe also try 'xmessage' if you want. |
Another option is
xterm -e xprop &> filename then see what's in "filename" after you close xprop |
