7.6. Window Manager Menu Customisation 7.6. Window Manager Menu Customisation The next frame shows the various menus that are used by later key and button definitions. For example, the "rootMenu" is shown when the right mouse button is clicked in the root window. (This is not hardwired in - I could have chosen the left mouse button or the middle mouse button when the Meta or Alt key is pressed - it is completely user definable ( remember though that there are certain historical conventions). ) How the root menu is tied to the appropriate button is also specified in this file - see later frame on button bindings. There we will explicitly tie the menus - rootMenu, clients and hosts - to the appropriate butons of the mouse.
As mentioned previously, this file contains a definition
for the window menu specified in the ".Xdefaults" file:
4Dwm*windowMenu: 4DwmWindowMenu

#
# The following are the menu definitions used for 4Dwm. These will supersede the
# definitions in /usr/lib/X11/system.mwmrc.
# Menus that are defined in this file are not used by the window manager until
# they are explicitly specified as a target of an "f.exec" call.
# This may be done in a another menu definition, or a key or button binding definition.
# For example, the "rootMenu" definition below is referenced in our button binding
# definition farther below.
# In this way, any menu can be associated with any given context.
