I do not know the exact atoms that play a role here. So, I cant' comment on that. But anyway, don't spend too much time on that. > When you say the fullscreen stuff doesn't work under HPUX and Solaris > could you explain what happens when you run "osgviewer cow.osg" and > then press 'f' and couple of times to toggle the full scrren on/off. Initially I get a full screen window *with* decorations. Pressing f gives a small window as expected. Press f again gives the previous huge window including decorations as before. > Could you aslso try running "osgviewer cow.osg --window 100 100 640 > 480" and trying the 'f' toggling. The same as above with the exception that the given initial size is the initial size of the small window. Toggling full screen behaves as above. But as I told, I have kept that compiling and running osg in its major functionality. This detail of the viewer is not really used and not worth a huge effort. > If the full screen toggling behaviour under Solaris and HPUX hasn't > changed between 3.0.0-rc1 and the changes I checked in this morning > then I'd be happy to leave this as is, and merge the changes with the > OSG-3.0 in knowledge that it does improve things under the main X11 > platform use.

The only WM I can think of behaving different is may be twm or fvwm which both should be easy to test with. I can test fvwm at home easily since the primary flightgear machine runs fvwm. > On a slightly different note, this afternoon I've been addressing some > warnings generated by cppcheck and there is a chance that these might > introduce some portability issues if the namespace support is a bit > incosinstitent on Solaris and HPUX.

But not on HP :) Currently flightgear does not render well on current osg trunk. Over the time we gained a highly adapted cull stage with even an own cull visitor and a home grown depth partitioning scheme. I am not yet sure, but I expect that there might be some interference with changes that have broken flightgear.
