Hey -

I have a x/motif application that is opening one application context
with several shells.  I do this the long way - via
XtToolkitInitialization, XtCreateApplicationContext, XtOpenDisplay and 
XtAppCreateShell.  The problem I have is that the application doesn't
seem to work on displays with multiple screens or variable plane depth
(this is specific to a Tektronics).  I would like the application to use
defaults so that it will run irregardless of the number of screens on
the display - but will just default to screen 0.

Can anyone tell me what part of the X code defines and sets these
things??  Any suggestions as to how to maintain protablility across
several platforms??

Thanks a bunch!

Tracy
