I am experiencing some strange behaviour wiht MacX 1.0.1 under A/UX. Two things bother me most: - Swallowing mouse events: after the user selects a menu item from my client, the client program listens to all mouse events and changes variables according to how the mouse is moved. Unfortunately, MacX does not pass any events to the client until the mouse is clicked again. This seems bogus, and I can't find anything about it in the (thin) manual, including the supplement for A/UX. - Colormap use: most window managers shift colormaps whenever the mouse moves over the client's window. MacX doesn't until you click on the client. I can live with this. But, my menus come up with the system colormap, not my client's (this doesn't happen on my generic SunX11R3, X11R4, or OpenWindows 2.0 server). Why? Any suggestions for getting behaviour out of MacX that is more like the rest of the X worlds'? We have a lot of people who would like to sue this application on their mac desktop instead of having to use a workstation... Thanks, Greg Sorensen sorensen@athena.mit.edu or sorensen@imager.mit.edu
