The only reason I've been so quiet recently is because of marking, setting exams, etc. Yesterday I got back to the Joys of X. It didn't take long to hit a problem. I have a prog which creates a form widget, containing three child form widgets and a label widget. The form widgets each contain box and viewport widgets, with the boxes containing label widgets. If that all sounds complex, lets just say I have a main menu, with three graphical windows (viewports) each with their own menus (box + labels). At this stage, apart from a Quit command on the main menu, and a viewport name in each local menu, everything is pretty empty (but I did give size hints). Yesterday I had this program up and running with no problems on a SPARCstation 1+. Today I was working on a different Sparc (physically) but which is configured the same as far as I know, and I get an error "Error: Widget clip has zero width and/or height". I don't have any widgets called 'clip' in my code. I can ftp the binary of the program from machine to machine, but I consistently get the error on two of them and no error on the third. Any ideas?
