Hello, I have been comparing our X11R2 and X11R3 library source, and noticed a couple of things that did not seem to have made it into R3. These are changes to Xt/TMparse.c and Xt/TMstate.c, and I think that they were made by the Hewlett-Packard patch set that was posted long ago. The change to TMparse.c consisted of XtParseTranslationTable() circumventing the caching done by XtDirectConvert() (by avoiding the call to it). The change to TMstate.c was a hack to XtTranslateEvent which was intended to prevent premature destruction of state tables. Are these patches still useful, or do other changes in R3 make them redundant? I really can't face wading through the rest of the toolkit to see whether the problems they fixed still exist! :-( Steve Hunt.
