I have a Decstation 3100 workstation, and I am trying to get mwm to run on it.
When I run the mwm that comes with the machine, mwm starts up, but it seems
that it does not read my .mwmrc file.  Here's the strange thing: when I run mwm
from a MIPS machine (over the network), the MIPS version of mwm has no problem
reading my .mwmrc file, and all of my buttons and menus behave as I expected.
When I run mwm from another Decstation or from a Sparcstation, they also have
the same problem reading .mwmrc.  No error message is printed, but the buttons
and menus do not get defined.  Only the MIPS mwm seems to work.

I have tested a number of combinations of x-servers and window managers, and I
am pretty sure that this has nothing to do with the version of x-server that I
am using.  The MIPS mwm is v1.1, but the Dec and Sun mwm are also both 1.1.

Has anyone encountered this problem before?
