Hello, everyone:

I am a new subscriber of xpert list, and really appreciate all pieces of
information I've got so far.

But, here I've got a question regarding the root menu of Motif window
manager, mwm.

I'm using mwm on X11 R3 running on Sun 3 workstations, which are running
Sun OS 4.1. I've had my own customized startup file .mwmrc, resource 
file .Xdefaults in my home directory. Root menu and window menu are defined 
in .mwmrc. The mwm is brought up by xinit command with .xinitrc file.

When mwm is running, I can pop up the window menu on xterm windows.
Contrastingly, I can't get the root menu on root window. Another problem
is that the customized window menu doesn't come up. Instead, the window
menu defined in the systemwide startup file system.mwmrc keeps coming
up. It seems that .mwmrc does not have any effects when mwm is come up.

When mwm is coming up, there's an error message showing on the console
window, saying "mwm: Invalid accelerator specification on line 7 of
specification string". I don't know if not getting root menu has some
thing to do with this error or not.

Could anyone give me some suggestions? Any clue will be appreciated.
