Some time back I tried to use an old app -- which was available only as a binary -- with a modern server. The app's documentation explicitly noted that it required backing store and save under.
Exactly as you saw, the windows of this app were blank. I discovered that it would work if there were no window manager running. As soon as a win mgr started, the app's windows would revert to a neutral gray. You might want to check whether that also happens for your apps. Just in case it helps the porting process.... -JimC -- James Cloos <cl...@jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
