I seem to have a problem with xmPanedWindowWidgets.  I open a
panedWindow and I manage a number of frames (or bulletinboards) within
it. It works fine, and it works well when I duplicate the same
interface in a second application shell WHEN the two toplevel windows
go to the same display.  However, it does not work if I try to forward
the second window to a different display.  I fail with the following
error:

X Error of failed request:  BadCursor (invalid Cursor parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  0
  Resource id in failed request:  0xa0009e
  Serial number of failed request:  318
  Current serial number in output stream:  341

This type of error was being discussed recently in the context of
trying to open multiple displays.  I have opened multiple displays, I
just have not been able to do it with panedWidgets that have children.

How do I do #1 ? I tryed XCreateCursorFont with no success.  As for 2,
and 3, I am using Motif1.1 and X11R4(patchlevel 18) on a Sparc1
SunOS4.0.3.  I'm actually compiling under g++(1.37.1) but I don't
think that (at this point) it's the source of the problem.

Alternatively, how can I debug the code to find the offending line in
my code?  XSynchronize(display) doesn't seem to get me close enough to
something that would need to do enything with cursors.

Thanks again, Paul.
