I've installed XView on a Convex C-1. No problems in installation,
except that I had to use gcc. Convex's cc gave "symbol table full"
errors. But now that I have it installed I have one real problem.
I wonder if anyone has had a similar problem, or can offer advice.

If I have a panel with two or more text fields, when the panel comes
up, the first item will have the caret. When I click on another item,
I get the following message repeated many, many times:

Selection library internal error:
Select call returned error

An example that has this problem is clients/demos/xv_panel_basic_items.c.
When it comes up, the caret is on the slider's text field. Clicking
on the other text field causes the error.
 
I'm running on the Convex, and displaying on a sparc. I'm running the latest
versions of XView, olgx, and olwm. If anybody has any ideas on what might
be wrong, I'll be most grateful.
