Hi Xworld, I am running Motif 1.0 on a 386 box (ESIX SysV R3.2) under X11R3. Here is what happens. If I run my application without mwm (the motif window manager), the application can find ALL the colors requested (green red and blue) However, If I start mwm ***before*** I start my application, suddenly I start getting warning messages that green and red cannot be found!! Now, If I start mwm ***after** I start my application, every thing is still fine!! Whats going on here? Why is mwm robbing me of my colors? Please E-mail! --Emuleomo O.O.

This problem was alleviated for particular color combinations of the resources in later versions of 1.0, either 1.0.4 or 1.0.5. -- David B.
