I have also run into the *input hangs* problem while using Sun's Openwindows 2.0 server and olwm. Because olwm (the window manager supplied with OW2.0) is fully ICCCM compliant, I believe it *forces* it's clients to be compliant also. This indicates to me that your problem (and mine) has nothing to do with the libraries being compiled by Sun's cc or gcc. I beleive it is strictly an ICCCM problem. This diagnosis has been shown to be correct by runnin twm on the OW2.0 server and running olwm on the X11R4 server. twm works with SRGP programs, wheres olwm (even when running it on the MIT server!) does not. My recommendation to you is to use twm. Also remember that the X11R4 server from MIT runs faster than OW2.0 on most SS1's because of memory requirements of the OW2.0 server. Note: I have tried to correct this problem by setting the input atoms in my X resource data base, but I've had no success at all. -- hangin' ten: -John West- surfer@erc.msstate.edu Engineering Research Center for Computational Field Simulation Mississippi State University ***** National Science Foundation P.O.
