Lines: 21 Nntp-Posting-Host: eldalonde.endor.cs.psu.edu Does anyone out there know what the following error means: xlock: couldn't grab pointer! (1) This is xlock for X11R4 (vtwm) on BSD4.3. This only occurs when I execute this from the vtwm menus. I am pretty sure that it has something to do with vtwm since I get the same error on both the R3 & R4 xlock. Or maybe it has something to do with the fact that it is not run from an xterm. Who knows? If you have any ideas pls respond via EMAIL!! Thanks, Chris -- Just say *NO* to software patents & look-and-feel lawsuits. Try competition. If God had intended man to smoke he would have set him on fire. There are two ways to write an error-free program. Only the third works. Chris McKulka (mckulka@bree.endor.cs.psu.edu)
