[comp.unix.ultrix] dx?? under twm on 3100s

taylorr@buchanan.cs.unc.edu (Russell Taylor) (07/20/89)

        When 'dx' applications (dxterm, dxdb, etc) are run while twm
(Tom's window manager) is running, they come up as teeny little boxes,
rather than as full sized windows, in the default case.  If a geometry
is specified, then they come up correctly.  Does anyone know how to
fix this?

	Thanks,

Sounds like you're having an inter-client communication problem.  The
ICC conventions were only recently formalized, so you may have problems
if you're not using the X11R3 twm and the UWS2.1 dx* clients.
