OPTIONS
dt-pdm-command

other sources.

should be posted as transient windows.
-pdisplay pdpy

ENVIRONMENT
Prior to starting a PDM, the dtpdmd may first modify the following environment variables:
XAUTHORITY
If the dtpdmd has come into possession of x-authority information that the
PDM will need, the dtpdmd will set the XAUTHORITY environment
variable so that the PDM will automatically have access to the proper x-
authority information.
In addition, the dtpdmd may set a "locale hint" passed to it by the "PDM Selection Protocol" from the
client prior to starting a PDM. On POSIX systems, setlocale(3C) will be used.
