I posted this a little over a week ago and have received no responses so here goes again. I'm having quite a bit of trouble with a program that opens a window on two different displays. I need to use a text widget with scroll bars on each of them. It works fine on the first display that's opened, but crashes on the second display because of non-existent cursors. I believe this has something to do with static variables that are initialized by the first text widget I open. The next text widget (opened on a different display) then tries to use these same values and crashes because the cursors aren't the same on that display. Anyone out there ever seen this problem before. It looks like xtalk does a quick hack to get around it, but they only need to change the cursor in the text window and don't have to worry about scrollbar cursors. Anyone at the Consortium have any comments? I don't know how to change the cursors the text widget uses for scrollbars. Could someone give me a hint on how to do that? Thanx for the help.
