[comp.windows.x] problem with resource converters

I am running Xaw and Xt in a multi-threaded environment (processes share
a global address space, and code).  It seems that many widgets in Xaw use 
their class initialization routines to install various resource converters 
in the default application context.  If I create multiple application contexts, these converters don't get installed in the new application contexts, since
the class initialization routines only run once (and only install the converters
in the default application context).  Is this a bug, or am I missing something?
    My work around to this problem is to have all the processes in my 
application use the same application context, however, performance is pretty 
doggy, since a single process ends up handling the events for all the 
widget instances.  Is there a way to copy the converters in the default
application context to a newly created application context?

Sounds like you are missing published fix number 9.
