I retrieved the latest patches I could find from expo and applied them and compiled the XView libraries and installed the headers as instructed. I then (FOUR HOURS LATER) ran the convert_to_xview script and edited the resulting file which I then compiled with the command: cc -o ljack ljack.c -lxview -lX11 -I/usr/global/include/X11 The program compiles without error, and even runs correctly...almost. The problem occurs when the window is iconified and the program attempts to change the icon (This program monitors several log files and changes the icon when an entry is made in one of the logs); the icon does not change and cannot be de-iconified by simply clicking on the icon, I must choose the (de)-iconify entry in my TWM menu and click on the icon. The window will then pop up, which the latest entry appearing in the monitored log file, but the icon also remains on the screen. When I re-iconify the window, it goes back to the previously frozen icon, but I can now open the window again by clicking on the icon (until of course, the program tries to change it again). I have found this behavior in other programs (i.e. contool) that I have tried to convert to XView, that try to change the icon. I think I can rule out window manager problems, as this occurs with uwm and gwm, as well as twm. If anyone can shed some light upon my problem, I would greatly appreciate it.
