I have just compiled Motif 1.1.2 on a 386 running ISC 2.0.0. I
use Thomas Roell's X386 X Windows system and GCC 1.39.
mwm reads the .mwmrc and system.mwmrc files. If I click on the
button on the top left position of a window I get the pop up menu
with minimize, maximize, close etc. If I click a mouse button
in the root window I don't get the pop up menu which I should get
(the one with xterm, restart, quit etc.). So to summarize,
mwm reacts to clicks in a window but not in the root window.
Is there anyone who has seen this behaviour before and knows a
solution?

Thanks in advance
