[comp.windows.x] Explorer X server

ole@er.sintef.no (Ole-Hjalmar Kristensen) (07/23/90)

We have just installed version 6.0 of then system on our TI Explorer, and
this version includes an X server. As we have not found any window manager
on the Explorer, we have been running the window manager on the same machine
which runs the applications. ( a SUN 4/110) Everything works fine (although a
bit slow), except for one thing: When a window is changed into an icon, it
does not reappear as an icon, but simply disappears ! The processes connected
to the windows do survive, though.
Any suggestions?

We are running the TWM window manager with the Athena widget set and have
version 11.4 of X on the SUN.
The Explorer X server seems to be version 11.3 ( Does anyone know if 
an 11.4 version is coming along?)

A fix for this defect (and many others) is available as a patch to X11M.  Call
your friendly TI customer support hotline or field analyst for details.

Not currently planned.  Not required, since there are no protocol changes
between R3 and R4.
