I have just gotten X11R3 running on my new Sparcstation and seem to be
having some problems with applications that use buttons.  Every time I move
the mouse over the location of a button that application dies with either
a memory fault or a segmentation violation.  Now, I am assuming that the
problem lies in the buttons but I could be wrong.  Of all the clients that
are provided with the base release of  X (that I received) every thing
works ok except those with buttons.  For example the xclipboard, the button
at the top that says "quit" , when I move the arrow all around the window 
it is fine.  But, when I move it over the button to quit I get: Memory
fault(coredump).  Background: Sparcstation 1, 8 meg memory, 19'' mono
monitor, 357 meg hard drive, running X with twm and 3 xterms, xclock and
xphoon.  I have taken it down to just running X and I get the same thing
(for what it matters).  I am a greenhorn on X and the Sun so it could be
something I have done in compiling (something I left out) but I can't seem
to find the answer.  If anyone might have an idea I would appreciate some
guidance.
