Xinteranimate kills twm window manager?
type: item
description: Hi all... Our group runs IDL 5.1 on an SGI-IRIX platform. Some users have complained that the Xinteranimate widget can kill the twm window manager, particularly if the user clicks on the Xinteranimate window with the mouse. By "kill", I mean the task bars above each opened window disappear, so that the user cannot change between windows anymore. Thus, after twm dies, users must log out of their X session and log back in again. This is somewhat annoying... I myself use mwm for my window manager, and have not experienced any adverse side effects from Xinteranimate. (For now, I am urging that twm users also switch over to mwm... :-) Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder if there is something messed up with the way that twm handles events from the Xinteranimate window. Just curious...thanx, Bob Yantosca --- Bob Yantosca | Phone: (617) 495-4517 \ "Ooooh...floor pie!" Scientific Programmer | FAX: (617) 495-4551 \ -- Homer J.
