I am trying to set a translation for the F4 key on a Sun Sparc 1+, running motif 1.1. For some reasons, the action associated with the F4 key never get called. I have reduced the application to a toplevel shell and a push button, but no luck. After replacing the F4 with F1, F2, ..., it works just as expected. Is there anything special about the F4 key or is this a known bug? I used xev on the F4 key and it did return F4 keysym. Any ideas? Curtz

That has got to be the most bizarre way of configuring an application. ~/.motifbind *only* works if you are running Mwm, and it has to be the 1.1 one at that. Why on earth wasn't the functionality built into libXm? -kee
