I am having problems with windows not apearing in my startup using xdm. I think the problem lies in uwm and multiple windows trying to map themselves at once. Has anyone else noticed this problem or is it just my machine? Here is my .xsession file: uwm & xcalc -geometry -25+100 & xclock -analog -geometry 164x164-20-20 -rv -bd white & xbiff -geometry -210-20 -rv & xload -geometry 150x50-3+3 -rv -bw 1 -bd white & xterm -rv -C -n Console -sb -geometry 60x15-5+348 -e tcsh -i -b do-console & exec xterm -geometry 80x50+1+1 -rv -fn 9x15 -sb -sl 500 -n RoverLogin -ls I plan to make a bug report but I would like to know if the problem is machine dependent before I do. The problem gets worse under high system loads. I have temporarily fixed the problem with a series of sleep commands and by moving the call to uwm to my .login preceeded by a long sleeep, what a cludge! I am running an IBM RT model 125 with an APA16 display. The problem is also reproducable without uwm. As far as I can tell the process is running but the window is not mapped. BTW I like complex start up files! JonnyG. (jonnyg@umd5.umd.edu) (jonnyg@rover.umd.edu)
