I am posting this for someone, however he does read comp.windows.open-look newsgroup. ---------------------------forwarded message---------------------------- There seems to be a problem with our X/NeWS server. Clients like cmdtools and xterms disappear sometimes when they are closed. The problem is not repeatable, i.e. I don't know when it will disappear. It happens under both vtwm and olwm window managers, so I suppose it's the problem of the server. Even though the clients disappear, the processes are still present in the process table. We are running SunOS 4.1 with OpenWindow 2.0 on 4/110 & 4/60. Does anybody have the same problem? Any suggestions to the cause? Thanks in advance. Delman Lee.

I see the same thing frequently. I thought it was because I was using the stock twm off the X11r4 tapes, but apparently not. I am using an IPC running OS 4.1 and OW 2.0. While it usually happens when I close an application, a couple of times it has happened with I opened an application. Dan Messinger dan@scooter.rosemount.com

This used to happen to me frequently when I used the twm that originally came with X11R4. Then someone fetched a newer twm (version 4.1?) from MIT, and the problem has largely vanished. So I recommend looking for a newer version of twm. Harry Bochner bochner@das.harvard.edu
