I have been trying to get the OPENLOOK Window Manager from the xview2 collection off of expo to run on an Apollo Domain 4500. I am running 10.2 with X11R4 and have a color display. The xview2 package was ftp'd from expo on 20 December. The olgx library compiled without much work and olwm compiled with only a few (3 or 4) changes but I've run across a slight problem in resizing windows that have MinimalDecor. When you select a resize corner, instead of the rubberband surrounding the window, it appears as a vertical line on the opposite side of the window, and upon release of the SELECT button, the window resized itself to several times the width of the screen. Now this only happens on clients that have the MinimalDecor resource set via xrdb. Clients that have the no header hint set internally, such as perfmeter, don't seem to have this problem. Any pointers would be appreciated. Sean N. Welch Computer Science Undergraduate Association, University of California, Berkeley

The problem is an uninitialized variable (decorWidth) in the makeSpecial() function in winframe.c. If you fix the declaration to initialize decorWidth to zero, the problem should go away. Thanks to Robert Giovannucci <bobg@ll.mit.edu> for pointing out this bug. s'marks -- Stuart W. Marks ARPA: smarks@eng.sun.com Windows & Graphics Software UUCP: sun!smarks Sun Microsystems, Inc.
