[comp.windows.open-look] client x dying because server lost

scott@shuksan.UUCP (Scott Moody) (03/22/91)

I have a problem when running openwin2.0 on a sparcstation
when the node where the openwin2.0/bin source is located is
taken down.

I have that node's openwin mounted on my openwin directory, and
am running standalone (other than the mount).
Once the other machine is taken down, my machine bombs all the
way out of openwin with errors like:

fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) on X server ":0.0"

/usr/local/src/openwin2.0/bin/xinit: connection to X server lost


What is really strange about this is that my machine is the only
one in our net that bombs. All the rest hang until the server
machine is brought back up.

Any ideas? Obviously I can move the openwin/bin directory to
my local disk (if there is any room left), but why does it
only happen to me?

Thanks.

p.s. doesn't anyone have a solution to the lack of having

    ctrl-h == backspace in text windows? 

    Keyboard.DeleteChar ^H => doesn't work.
