This is really a question about X, which is probably simple, but I
don't know enough about X to refine the question.  I have vtwm, Beta
release of 26 Jun 1990, and I was trying to fix a bug; owing to my
almost complete ignorance of X I floundered for a while before seeing
the bug, and one thing I tried at one stage was, in desktop.c, to call
XSelectInput on VirtualDesktopDisplayOuter instead of on
VirtualDesktopDisplay . One effect of this was that when vtwm started,
the virtual desktop display did not appear, although it was shown as
open in the icon manager. It did appear when I iconified and
de-iconified it. Can somebody explain to me why this happened?
Thanks for any help,
Julian Bradfield.
