They were much more exaggerated under the BETA and FCS version of SunOS 4.0.0 for the 386i; things got much better with 4.0.2. Also, however, we made sure every widget cleaned up after itself with a Destroy method. While there can still be problems even with this, we have found it to help a lot. I don't remember the details, but we even twiddled the Athena widgets themselves, in addition to our own Athena-based widgets. (The latter was under R2 and maybe R3 - we are not at R4 yet.) -Miles O'Neal meo@SalesTech.com emory!stiatl!meo This posting involves no company proprietary information.
