When I start up mwm (motif 1.0/X11R3) I get the following message mwm: Cannot open configuration file Does anybody know what this means? I do know that I don't get any pop-up menus when I press any of the 3 mouse buttons on the root window. The message appears both with and without the existence of .mwmrc in my home directory. -- R.R. van de Stadt (Richard) Email: stadt@cs.utwente.nl -- R.R. van de Stadt (Richard) Email: stadt@cs.utwente.nl

Or maybe you don't have it defined at all.
