I have hacked up a version of the Xaw asciiTextwidget that allows 
a callback to be added, so that a simple text conferincing program can
be written - it runs on one machine and opens n text windows on each
of n conferee's displays. When input arrives on any window, the callback routine
re-dispatches the event to all the equiv output windows on the n-1
other displays.

To work properly, there are minor (other) changes to Text, Asciitext,
Simple. Also required are alterations to GCManager, to allow the GCs
to setup right accross multiple displays...

Unfortunately, it works underr all window managers we have here except
twm - with which the text widgets resoluteley refuse to accept any key
event input.

Does anyone have a pointer to where to start looking for the problem 
before i post a defective application?


cheers
