Still struggling with IDL via MacX. I am upgrading IDL to a newer
version - maybe that'll help with some of the problems.

Thanks for the tips: I did find the patch for twm crashing. I'll also
try increasing the memory size from 5000 to 10000K. I'm still pondering
the suggestion to use VersaTerm-PRO; while I do have it, I've rarely
used it (I use NCSA Telnet). Good tip on the colormap entry warning,
I'll check private color maps. But is that related to the X windows
protocol error?

I was initially running rootless, but I reluctantly went to rooted because
the MacX window manager chooses its default window locations poorly; for
example, its default for the first IDL window is *under* the menu bar
across the top of the Mac screen.

Even more indivious, plot windows appeared far off to one side with only
an edge visible, and the data in them was lost (i.e., was not refreshed
when I dragged the window fully onto the screen unless I physically
replotted). With twm, I can position windows with a click when they are
being opened, so at least they are fully on the screen with the data visible.
