[comp.windows.x] OpenWindows and TWM

jipping@cs.hope.edu (Mike Jipping) (06/01/90)

Help! As I am configuring a mixture of X and SunView for my users, 
I'm attempting to use Sun's OpenWindows.  I don't like the feel of 
the "pswm" or "olwm" (I just can't get used to the Open Look and 
Feel ;-).  So I'm trying to the the R4 twm with OpenWindows.

Versions: X11R4 twm -- patched as in the R4 documentation -- with 
1.0.1 OpenWindows.

Here's the problems: (1) Iconifying in twm unmaps the icon and --
even worse -- loses the window.  The icon manager can't even access
it!  It's there -- "ps" lists it as a process -- but I can't get it
mapped!  (2) When focus leaves a window, the border lines disappear.

The iconification (is that word...) is the worst problem.  I can live
with disappearing border lines.  I'm having trouble limping with 
olwm..PLEASE HELP!

Thanks in advance.  I'll summarize!
