[comp.windows.x] twm problem

les@uokmax.UUCP (The Doctor) (06/10/89)

I am having problems getting text output in windows with twm running. I
have the window in focus and everything but no text can be typed in the
window. All the window managing features work fine, but that isn't exactly
enough :-). I posted this earlier but got no response, I am hoping that it
is because it didn't get out, not because nobody has a clue. 

Oh I have revision 1.2 according to the bar at the top when you invoke twm.

I recently built X11R3 on our universities Sun 3/280 and also installed
twm.  However, it keeps looking for the font "fg-22", which wasn't
built with X11 and I don't see with twm.  Can anyone tell me where to
get this font or a workaround?  Any help would be appreciated!

[Sorry to waste the bandwidth...]

I have a problem with TWM. When running twm, windows are reparented
correctly. Window ops seem to be working (but focus), menus also
selection in xterm also, but typing on the keyboard
has no effect. I am unable to focus in any window.
I think this has been discussed before, but I can't remember what was said... 
This is on a (Sony) NEWS 1850 (4.3 BSD), X11 (R3 as far as I can tell).
Thanx for pointers (e-mail preferred).

I have been running twm on a VAXstation 3100, and I have been having no
luck at all with the resize box or squeezed titlebars.

The resize box gets messed up after a resize, and the only way to get it
back is to resource the .twmrc.  As far as squeeze titles, I have not
got that to work at all.

I have seen the same probem on twm (version ?), vtwm (version 3.0), and
tvtwm (patchlevel 4).  I have tried .twmrc files distributed with the
sources, and they all have the same problem.

Is there an incompatibility with the 3100?  An I doing something totally
wrong?  Has anyone seen this behavior before?

Thanks for any help,

Brian

(I will be happy to sumarize anything insights mailed directly to me)
