to whomever it may interest- does anybody have a reasonable workaround for the bug in XView2.0 that causes an X protocol error when you resize a split window such that one of the views is no longer visible? I don't consider "don't resize a split window" a reasonable solution for a commercial application. the bug seems to come from the openwin package that does the splits and propagates the problem to the textsw and the canvas packages. in the source, there seems to be an attempt to check for this condition (openwin_adjust _views() ), but somewhere down the lines, someone seems to call XConfigureWindow() with a 0 value or some such. the error is: X Error: BadAlloc Request Major code 12 () Request Minor code 1 ResourceID 0x0 Error Serial #3164 Current Serial #3166 thanx- rick %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % % % Richard M.
