I am running OpenWindows 2.0 on a Sun 3/80 with mwm as my window
manager. Whenever I start a programs like xclock, GNU emacs, and xrn
I get the message "mwm: Invalid icon bitmap". All these programs have
icons associated with them and don't give me any problems when running
Xsun from X11R4. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be
appreciated.
[Yes, I know it's a little strange running mwm instead of olwm, but
honestly, I like mwm. And the reason I'm running OpenWindows now is
that I have to run two programs we only have SunView versions of.]

I've seen the same behaviour when running mwm under DECwindows.

One reason why mwm will emit "mwm: Invalid icon bitmap" is if the icon_pixmap specified in hints structure is not a bitmap (i.e. not depth 1), as the ICCCM says it should be. With DECwindows applications, their icons were pixmaps so MWM complains. It's possible that with OpenWindows something similar is happening, but I'm surprised that MWM would complain with xclock and xrn.since these applications do indeed use bitmap icons. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Yang Silicon Graphics, Inc. mikey@sgi.com 415/335-1786

According to the ICCCM, the pixmap passed in via WM_HINTS should be 1-pixel deep. If the pixmap is deeper than that, then mwm will reject it. Keith M.

Mwm 1.0 considered these icons to be invalid, because ICCCM defines valid icons to be of depth 1. Mwm 1.1 will be more forgiving and display icons with pixmaps of depth > 1, although the colors are undefined. If you want to get rid of these of messages change MakeClientIconPixmap() in clients/mwm/WmImage.c to not check for depth of 1. OR, fix the clients to create depth 1 icon pixmaps :-).
