[comp.windows.x] Problem on Sun Workstation

gkssss@hawk.ulowell.edu (Shuhua Shen) (04/21/89)

   I have X11R3 installed on both a Vax workstation and a Sun workstation.
   The following uses Xtoolkit widgets to create a popup menu :

        XtCreatePopupShell("popup_menu", overrideShellWidgetClass, ...)

   This works fine on both workstations if it's compiled on the Vax
workstation.  However, if the demo is compiled on the Sun, the demo
doesn't work on either workstation.  The menu is not popped up when the
button is pressed.  Are there any known bugs in the Sun X server which
might cause this, and if so, does anyone have a fix for this ?  Your
help will be very much appreciated! Thank you!

This Xt function works fine for me (Sun 386i, SunOS 4.0.1, X11R3).  I
use it for popup menus as well as popup dialog boxes, etc.
