Well, all my tests now it was fd 3, which according to pfiles is an AF_UNIX socket at /tmp/.X11-unix/X3 - I've been getting :3.0 as my display on this SunRay server. So it's the local talking to the X server that's going on, which is expected? > Could you find out in which version (.18/.19/.20) the problem first appears? .18 no longer exists on the sourceforge site. I built .19, and it happens there. I installed it, and logged out and in as a "Failsafe" session - X and one dtterm. Started e16 from .19 and see the closed doors for a long time. Did the truss and pfiles from my Linux box next to the SunRay. Same thing. Killed e16, logged back in to Gnome (gnome-session is starting "e16 -p e_config") and same thing for fd 3. Go back into my .17 build directory, "gmake install", and the problem has gone away again. Note I've tried without the -p - that isn't it. So, go back to .19, and try starting it with --fast as well. And we get in to a windowing environment, and all seems well. But no dialogues will come up (menus will) and windows wont raise, and a number of other issues show up. I can *move* windows, but it's not fully functional. Back to .17, and everything's back again, including the "About" box. All a bit trippy, really. It's like a central part of E isn't working any more... The only thing I've not tried is rebuilding .17 in case it's something about how I built it. I'm going to make sure I have a safe backup of the working code first, and will then try that. Does this give you any clues? Ta, -- o o mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] /v\ark R.
