I don't know if this is old hat or not, but I thought the information might be useful... I'm running Motif 1.0 on an X11 Release 3-based system (HP 825). I'm displaying my Motif programs on an R4-based X server (Sun SPARC). And, I noticed that the PanedWindow widget causes a program crash whenever I try to adjust the pane's separator. That is, I create a simple PanedWindow widget with two simple child widgets (a pushbutton and a label). The PanedWindow has separatorOn set to True, as well as allowResize set to True. If I try to adjust the pane's sash and change the relative size of the paned areas, I get an X error on the GrabPointer request. The program dies, of course. I suspect that Motif 1.0 is passing a bad event mask (one of those gotchas in moving to R4). Anyway, enabling "Bug Compatibility" mode in the R4 server, with xset bc seems to fix the whole situation. I don't really consider this a bug in Motif (and its an old verion of Motif at that). I just thought that if someone else gets bitten by this that this information might help.
