I have several questions regarding Motif that maybe someone can help with.
WE are running Motif 1.0 (patched)
Platform: Sun Sparc station-1
X: X11R4,X11R3

1. I am having problems with corrupted list box text and button labels.
   This includes the buttons on mwm re-start confirmation dialog box.
   The problem happens randomly although seems more common when the network
   is heavily loaded. I did not have the problem when running on a Sun 386i.
   I have tried linking to both R3 and R4 X11lib, and running R3, R4, and
   XneWS servers with same results. Has anyone else experienced this
   behavior?

2. Is there a way to specify the initial location of a shell widget?
   I have tried XtSetArg when creating the shell, and have tried setting
   <client name>.x, <clien name>.y in Xdefaults resource file but mwm
   continues to place the window wherever it wants to. I can move it after
   its mapped with XtSetValues.


                                Thanks - Jim Phelps  Boeing BCS
