I am having some problems with running "twm" under "dxsession" and hope that someone has a solution. Following is my configuration : DECstation 3100, Ultrix 4.0, X11R4. The two problems I am having are as follows : (1) For some reason dxsession does not properly work with my .twmrc which I can run with no changes on a SUN. The problem appears to be that it does not know about the X11R4 clients that I have in /usr/bin/X11. If I include a line in my .twmrc that calls xterm (for instance) it will tell me that it is not found. What appears to me is that the /usr/bin/X11 is not in the path of the dxsession so at login my .login and .cshrc (which set the path) are not being read. Is there some way that I can make it recognize the commands in the /usr/bin/X11 directory ? If I kill the twm process and restart it from a dxterm window everything works just fine. (2) When I am running twm and I iconize any of the decwindows X applications the bitmaps seem to be garbled. I can specify bitmaps for some of the files in my .twmrc but thought someone might have an idea of how these could be fixed. From what I can tell the bitmaps are a part of the decwindows excutable code. I there a directory for the dec bitmaps? If there are any ideas or suggestions let me know. Thanks. Jim Moore -- James D.
