OK this is really straightforward.

I compile the simple_seln.c program from the XView Programming Manual
(its in $OPENWINHOME/share/src/sun/xview/examples/seln_svc/simple_seln.c).

I run it. I Press the 'Print Selection' button. The selection is
printed. (I do this several times - its fun :-))

I press 'Quit'. The program finishes. My xterm (which had the
selection) dies. Its final words were,

mrd@marr,22 xterm:  warning, error event receieved:
X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  0
  Resource id in failed request:  0xb00004
  Serial number of failed request:  104
  Current serial number in output stream:  104

Funnily enough, if the selection is in a shelltool, everything is OK.
Also funnily enough, if I am running xsun (instead of xnews)
everything is also OK.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Is there a bug somewhere (server,
xterm) or is it just an incompatibility between xterm and OpenWindows?

			Mark.
