A week or two ago I posted to find out why xlock straight from the X11R4
tape would not work.  I have received a fix that solves the problem.  I
also got several requests for the fix.  Since I was not able to e-mail
replies to some of these people (our mailer bites) I'll post here:

  In "xlock.c":

    1. in lines 256 and 268, changed the XGrabPointer arg '-1' to '0'
    2. commented out line 241 (Xfree())

I am not experienced enough in X to know why 2 is needed (or 1 for that
matter) but the fix does seem to work.

Thanks to all who replied.

Jan
