Has anyone experienced a problem with xterm while running under awm? Most of the time that I start up an xterm window, the first line of text sent to the window appears vertically in column 1. After the first line, everything else is ok. I am running a SUN 3/60 with SunOS 4.0.1, with awm patchlevel 8 (X11r3). This problem does not occur when I run uwm. Any ideas? Thanks.

Well, I don't get the first line vertically, I usually just get the last character from the first line in the upper left-hand corner. The rest of the first line is lost. I'm also running awm at patchlevel 08, but on a Sun 3/50 under SunOS 3.5. _Tom Crockett_ *ICASE* Institute for Computer Applications in Science and Engineering M.S. 132C e-mail: tom@icase.edu NASA Langley Research Center phone: (804) 864-2182 Hampton, VA 23665

I am running a SUN 3/60 with SunOS 4.0.1, with awm patchlevel 8 >(X11r3). This problem does not occur when I run uwm. This is a known problem. It turns out that there is a short period of time between the time that the xterm starts and the time that it knows how large the window is, and during this time, the size is 1x1. This happens in awm due to the fact that it "reparents" the windows, and since uwm doesn't do this, it doesn't have the problem. You can stop it from showing up in csh windows by putting a sleep command (I used "sleep 10" when I was experimenting) in your .cshrc, but that's only a stopgap. I've just gotten used to the fact that most of my windows start out with the character '>' (the last character of my prompt) at the top instead of the entire login sequence. I talked to Jordan Hayes about this last fall, and at that point he had no solution. -- David Elliott ...!pyramid!boulder!stan!dce "Splish splash, I was rakin' in the cash" -- Eno

I just compiled the new version of awm (patchlevel 9). I don't have this problem anymore. Xterm startup is speedier too! Tim Becker. becker@cs.rochester.edu

I just compiled and installed awm patchlevel 9 as posted recently, and this problem has been fixed. One other thing that has been "fixed" is that the borders on applications like xclock and xbiff are no longer hilited when the cursor enters their area. Instead, they are a gray stipple. -- David Elliott ...!pyramid!boulder!stan!dce "Splish splash, I was rakin' in the cash" -- Eno
