We have Motif application ( version 1.0.2 for right now) which we have ported to
Sun4
systems. Under mwm everything is fine, however, when we run the application
under
olwm, certain exposure events do not get propagated to the application. In
particular,
toggle buttons which are not in a radio box do not get redrawn when they have a
status change.
The problem shows up in other areas such as labels not being redrawn when
sensitivity is changed.
A manual refresh fixes everything up...
Has anybody run into this difficulty and found a work-around ?

I have found that neither my Motif/XVT-based application, another one here at IntelliGenetics, or FrameMaker (also a Motif app) work under OLWM. In fact, they both crash. I haven't found any workarounds, so I'd like to here about them if they exist, too.

The only (minor) problems are: - The search etc. windows do not have titlebars to quit. The resize-corners can be added by using OpenWindows.MinimalDecor. I must use control-C to quit. - The menus were bound to left-mouse-button. This can also be changed by using the resources. A guy from our local HP-office helped me on that. - The Look&feel is not consistent in my screen, because some applications are OpenLook and some Motif. -- This article represents my personal views.
