But, I found that keeping both an X11R4 version and an openwindows versions on my system, running OpenWindows as the server and linking clients to the R4 libs, I get just about everything to work right. You need to keep the LD_LIBRARY_PATH right for R4 clients, but that's about it. The Xtrek (and some others) problem is actually a olwm problem, not one with OW. When I run OW, but with twm as my WM, Xtrek runs just fine. I think the real problem is with Xtrek, and some other apps not being ICCCM compliant (from what I picked up on the net). -- Gil -------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Gil Tene "Some days it just dosn't pay - -- devil%imp@uunet.uu.net to go to sleep in the morning." - -- devil@diablery.10A.com - --------------------------------------------------------------------
