Disable X shared memory extension in gtkrc

[Richard Bemrose <rb3 sanger ac uk>]

Hi,

We have installed GTK V1.2.7 on a shared NFS mount point. Some of our
Tru64-UNIX workstations have X11 displays which do not have X shared
memory extensions. The only way to run GTK applications on these
workstations is to specify the "--no-xshm" flag on the command line.

Is they anyway to auto-detect for X shared memory extension? If not, can I
disable X shared memory extensions in the global /usr/local/etc/gtkrc (or
$HOME/.gtkrc) file? In addition, is there any documentation on the format
of this gtkrc file?

Thank you. I will summarize.

Regards,
Rich
