I'm sitting at a DECstation 3100, running DECwindows. I am connected to 
an IBM RS/6000, and am happily running the info program, xde, xclock etc.
I have two questions

1) When I run the AIXwindows desktop (by typing xdt&), the desktop appears
and I can run applications, but the mouse cursor disappears whenever it 
moves onto the desktop, unless I keep a mouse button pressed. Is there a way
of stopping this behavior?

2) I am getting some warnings. For example, when I run the info program, 
although it seems to work fine, I get messages like

X Toolkit warning: windows manager is confused
X Toolkit warning cannot convert string "Rom10" to type fontlib

These may not be exactly right, but they're close.

What do these messages mean, and what do I need to do to stop them
appearing? I set the environment variable DISPLAY to hostname:0.0, if
that is important.

Thanks for any help
