Greetings all,
I've largely moved away from using IDL for anything other than graphics,
hence my absense from the group for a while... Nevertheless, I purchased
the student edition of IDL just before Christmas so I can plot the final
figures for my thesis but it seems I cannot run any object graphics code?
I am running IDL 5.6, 6.0 and 5.6se under OS X (10.3) with Apple X11 and
code that works fine runing the either 5.6 or 6.0 (full version) but fails
to work with the student edition? Even the RSI object example code fails
after each object window is drawn!!

IDL Student Edition 5.6, Mac OS X (darwin ppc m32). (c) 2002, Research Systems, Inc.
Installation number: 001.
Licensed for use by: IDL Student Version
IDL> test_surface
% Compiled module: TEST_SURFACE.
% Compiled module: DIST.
% X windows protocol error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes).
% X windows protocol error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter).
Sadly, this looks rather similar to the IDL 6.0 object graphics under unix
VM bug I've encountered.

As always, direct graphics works fine. Does anyone have any ideas how to
