Has anyone built Motif on top of the Sun X11/NeWS server. The server is
supposed to be X11R3 compliant, so it shouldn't be a problem. I was just
looking for some experience.
-Thanks

I built Motif 1.0 (straight from OSF) on a Sun4 (4.0.3 and 4.1) on top of OpenWindows 1.01 (X11/NeWS). I had no truble "make-ing" it, but there are some runtime problems that I haven't solved yet: 1) Output to text widgets is very flaky; you have to keep your mouse pointer in the text widget or output will stop. 2) The FileSelectionDialogBox filter does not work (I think this is a general Motif 1.0 bug). Using olwm (open look window manager): 3) If you move a shell that contains a menubar with pulldown menus, the menus don't follow the shell. Instead, they pop up in their original position. 4) Modal dialog boxes aren't modal; XmDIALOG_APPLICATION_MODAL and XmDIALOG_SYSTEM_MODAL flags for the XmNdialogStyle resource have no effect on the dialog box. 5) If you select the "push-pin" on a dialog shell, it kills the shell. Note: 3,4, and 5 do not occur with MWM (Motif Window Manager). Good Luck! Debbie Catalano Inference Corporation catalano@inference.com
