Are we supposed to be discussing OLWM from SMI in the this newsgroup? I just started using it and it works fine with xterm but today when I tried to run xdvi it just beeped at me when I pressed "n" for next page with the mouse in the xdvi window. This occured whether I invoked olwm with or without the -f flag in my .xinitrc. This also occured with miniedit.X from the STDWIN package when it prompted we for the filename. When I restarted the server with uwm, xdvi and miniedit.X worked fine. Also with olwm if I have this as the LAST line in .xinitrc the windows disappear and reappear as they are being managed - is this correct. thanks, gerry pratt - workstation support - university of keele email: gerry@uk.ac.keele.seq1 * tel: 0782 621111 x 3290 -- gerry pratt - workstation support - university of keele email: gerry@uk.ac.keele.seq1 * tel: 0782 621111 x 3290

This occured whether I >invoked olwm with or without the -f flag in my .xinitrc I had the same problem with xman and one of my own tools but not xedit. I tried setting XtNinput, True where necessary but to no effect. I mailed the bug address in the README file but it got bounced. I notice that at the head of the README file it talks about ICCCM support and that the PRE_R4_ICCCM compile-time flag should be used to run XView under release 3. This flag does not appear in the olwm code. So what's going on ? -- uucp: ...!mcvax!ukc!dcl-cs!de or: ...!uunet!comp.lancs.ac.uk!de arpa/janet: de@comp.lancs.ac.uk +44 524 65201 ex 3784 "The Bluebird of happiness long absent from his life, Ned is visited by the chicken of depression"
