[ca.unix] WIN device busy creating iconic SunView window

bob@omni.com (Bob Weissman) (08/18/89)

(I've already asked this in comp.sys.sun, but that group suffers such
delay that I can't wait any longer for my posting to appear...)

I'm writing a program which creates a window in SunView1 (on a 4/110
running SunOS 4.0.3, if that matters).  Everything works fine, except that
if I start the window iconic with -Wi, I always get

  WIN ioctl number 20006703: Device busy

and then the icon appears perfectly and everything is fine.

I've read all the documentation (over and over and over...) and can not
for the life of me figure out how to get rid of this message.

Appendix B of the SunView1 System Programmer's Guide hints that this
message is related to the WININSERT ioctl, since the last two digits of
the number in the error are 03.  But I don't understand what this is
trying to tell me.

I've tried moving the command line argument parsing (using
FRAME_ARGC_PTR_ARGV) around to different places in the program, and
nothing works.

Please help!  Thanks!
