Although DECwindows applications behave as "globally active" clients as per the ICCCM, they use a pre-ICCCM protocol that only DEC's window manager understands. Therefore, MWM doesn't realize that they're globally active. DEC will probably release a new version of MWM in the future that will correctly recognize old DECwindows clients and handle them accordingly. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Yang Silicon Graphics, Inc. mikey@sgi.com 415/335-1786
