[comp.windows.open-look] Problems Running SUN Open Windows clients on DEC-5000

usd@ecmwf.co.uk (Ditlef Martens) (01/07/91)

We have problems running OpenWindows clients on a DECstation 5000 using the
DEC-windows X11 server. Applications like cmdtool start up, but if we move the
cmdtool window, the application aborts with a bad atom error. We have tracked it
down to a byte swapping error in the client-event WM_TAKE_FOCUS. XView will ask
the server for the Atom 9830400 (instead of 150).

Is that a server bug.. ?. Is it possible to avoid that error ??

Thank you !?
