[comp.windows.x] Strange xlock error

mckulka@eldalonde.endor.cs.psu.edu (Christopher Mc Kulka) (04/04/91)

Does anyone out there know what the following error means:
xlock: couldn't grab pointer! (1)

This is xlock for X11R4 (vtwm) on BSD4.3.

This only occurs when I execute this from the vtwm menus.
I am pretty sure that it has something to do with vtwm since I get
the same error on both the R3 & R4 xlock.  Or maybe it has something
to do with the fact that it is not run from an xterm.

Who knows?

If you have any ideas pls respond via EMAIL!!

	Thanks,
	Chris

There are two ways to write an error-free program.  Only the third works.
