[comp.windows.x.motif] Problem with Customized Icons and Motif

rbl@nitrex.UUCP ( Dr. Robin Lake ) (11/14/90)

We have a problem with Motif under VMS. Specifically we are running Motif
V1.0 under VMS 5.3-1 on a VAXstation 3100 and are attempting to pick up
user defined icons. Whilst we are influencing which icons are being used
we are only changing the icon from the application icon to the default
icon of four squares. No amount of fiddling seems to bring up the user
defined icons. 

The revelevant entries in the resource file that we are using are like:

Mwm*iconDirectory:          motif$dir:
Mwm*xman*iconImage:         xmanicon.xbm

Motif$dir is defined externally to this file by means of the following
type of statement:

DEFINE/SYS MOTIF$DIR USER06$DISK:[STANYER_MP.ICONS]

If anyone has managed to get DEC's Motif v1.0 under VMS to pick up user
defined icons we would be really pleased to hear how they did it.
