Hi Xworld,
I am noticing something quite peculiar with Motif 1.0.

From within my code, if I do I do a  system("xterm -e foo &");

where foo is an X program,  the menus in the current window of the 
"parent" process disappear and cannot be redrawn!
Also that "parent" window can no longer be closed (with ALT-F4)!

The child process however, works fine!

Interestingly, sh -c "xterm -e foo &" works fine when issued from 
the "command line"!

Pls what's going on here!

Any suggestions will be most welcome!
