[comp.windows.x] tvtwm and OpenWindows 2.0

rkling@mipos2.intel.com (Ralph Kling) (02/06/91)

I have the following three problems when using tvtwm (patchlevel 4) under
OpenWindows 2.0:

1. The Desktop icon should allow you to move the physical workspace
   around with the mouse button. This doesn't work (under the original
   X11R4 from Mit it works, however). If you use the WM commands (f.scroll
   etc. the workspace *can* be moved, even under OpenWindows).

2. Xwd also doesn't work properly under OW 2.0 and tvtwm. It either dumps
   an image of the IconManager or fails with an error, no matter what
   window is clicked on. It works fine under TWM.

3. When the IconManager is made sticky (which is nice when switching work-
   spaces) it often gets 'mangled' and the individual icons in it magically
   shrink to about 1/2 their width.

Any ideas out there? I tried hard to find the answers in the manuals, but to
no avail. Help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Ralph


P.S.: I think tvtwm is a great program and like it a lot.
