I am writing this program using Xlib on a color HP Bobcat 4.3 BSD, X11r3. At this moment it does not do much. I am creating main window using XCreateSimpleWindow, Then I open several children using the same call. I Load a font, create a GC( with that font) map the main window and it's children. Then I write some text usinf XDrawImageString in all of the windows.I XFlush after each operation. The strange thing is that the program seems to work fine, as long as there is no window managerrunning ( I tried uwm and awm). Whenever the window manager is running, no text appears on the windows, when I kill the window manager and run the program again, the text appears on the screen. Any Ideas what might be happening? Thanks, margaret
