I'm running X11R3 sample server on a Sun3 and I'm not exactly clear how save unders work. I have a multiple toplevel window (Shell Widget) application, each of whose Shell Widget has Save Under set to TRUE. Now for the question. How much really gets saved? The problem is that I am using Viewports and I want to make my virtual canvas approx. 30000 by 30000. Of course, only a few hundred by a few hundred pixels are visible at a time. However, when I obscure one Shell with another, I blow completely out of X (the server crashes). If I use more reasonable numbers like 1000x1000 this doesn't happen. Is the server actually trying to remember 30000x30000 pixels? Or at the very least, is it mallocing an array for the worst case. Thanks. Jeff Eisen Gold Hill Computers 617-621-3404 jne@goldhill.com
