Has anyone had experience using Figaro on an SGI?  We are trying
to develop an application which would take input from the user and draw
some Phigs graphics into a GL window.

As a simple test, I wrote a simple program which opened up two GL windows
(one window had menus attached to it which could draw filled circles--like
popup.c) and also opened up a Figaro window from some Figaro code from the 
examples with the Figaro tapes.

Unfortunately, Figaro seemed to take over the screen and when I clicked in
the GL window for the menus--nothing came up.  In fact, the whole system
hung!  Is this just a bsd socket problem which will be fixed with version
3.3 or will Figaro never be made compliant with GL like SunPhigs is with
Sunview?
