Since posting this I've done some more experiments. There had been some suggestion that the problems noted above were due to problems in the Solaris X server. I could buy that but I did some more experiments. I went back and I rebuilt 2.0.46 which I had been running with no problems on Solaris 8 and switched to it. All of the problems mentioned above have gone away and I've seen no bad behavior. So while it doesn't exonerate the Solaris 9 X server it must surely be some clues. My next thought was that maybe this was triggered by some different configuration issue. Unfortunately the configuration between 2.0.46 and 2.4.x is so drastically different that a simple comparison doesn't seem productive. However I thought that maybe with the knowledge that 2.0.46 works properly and the symptoms above (especially #3) that maybe someone could give me a pointer as to what I could look and while trying to debug it since I'd like to use 2.4.x if I could. -- Steve -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
