I have an application written using the Xt toolkit and Athena widgets ( X11R3). It runs fine on a Sun under uwm or twm, but does not on a dec3100 under (I believe) dxwm. The application will not accept input on the 3100 (the executable is built and runs on a Sun 3), specifically neither in Text nor in Dialog widgets. My guess is that this is a problem with the input hints that our version of Xt does not handle. Is there an applicable patch? Some other bug? Thanks. Bill Gropp

Had the same problem with xfig. Yes, you have to set the input hints
on the window(s):
XWMHints wmhints;
/* Set the input field to true to allow keyboard input */
wmhints.flags = InputHint;
wmhints.input = True;
XSetWMHints(display, XtWindow(widget),wmhints);

I don't speak for LBL, these non-opinions are all mine.

This is probably the second most commonly asked X programming question. The answer is that, for a client to be ICCCM compliant and work properly with ICCCM compliant window managers, you must set XtNinput to True on top level shells that expect input. See Section 4.1.3 of the intrinsics manual and Section 4.1.7 of the ICCCM for details. Ken Lee DEC Western Software Laboratory, Palo Alto, Calif. Internet: klee@decwrl.dec.com uucp: uunet!decwrl!klee
