Is this a known bug, or have people out there been able to accomplish this? I am on a DecStation3100 running X11R4 and Motif1.0 (R3). I make my own colormap and would like this to be the one used when I move into the window, however, it either 1)doesn't work if I try setting the colormap for sub-widgets or 2)it crashes the window manager (when I move the mouse into the window) when I set the colormap of the toplevel shell widget. I use XSetWindowColormap(XtDisplay(widget), XtWindow(widget), cmap) to set the window's colormap. I also tried XtSetValues for the XmNcolormap resource. Then I use XSetWMColormapWindows() to tag a property on the toplevel widget which will supposedly be used by the window manager. I guess I could make up a simple example and include the code, but first I want to know if other people have this problem too. Would really appretiate knowing if other people have gotten this to work properly or not ... especially if it can be done for only sub-windows. Thanks a lot. Scott
