Hi, I'm having some problems with X11R2 while attempting to set up widgets on two different displays by the same application program. This is what I want to do: set up a widget on my display, set up another one on display at host2, have one application program handle both widgets. How should I go about doing that? Are there any sample programs I can look at? I've tried the following: XtInitialize with the XrmOptionDescRec set to my host as its display, then XtInitialize another one with the XrmOptionDescRec set to host2's display, at this point, I get warning messages saying things like initializing the Resource list twice, and that the Translation manager has been duplicated (something like that)... Is it that each application program can only deal with one display? (I find it hard to believe that.) I would REALLY appreciate it if someone could give me some help. PLEASE!!! Thanks! SUSY

The Xt Intrinsics currently do not support multiple displays. At a recently concluded X Consortium meeting on toolkits, we worked through a proposal to provide multiple-display support. Expect support in R3, and perhaps something public sooner than that. (Consortium members are likely to see bits sooner, and Xerox is a member ...).
