Hello!
I upgraded from 784 to 798 -- (and am doing without gtk, so I'm using the
motif).
What should I do to eliminate the following two messages that I get when I
fire up vim:
Warning:
Name: subMenu
Class: XmCascadeButton
Illegal mnemonic character; Could not convert X KEYSYM to a keycode

I'm getting these with
vim -u NONE -g
Thank you,

Hi Charles
Perhaps you are building Vim with the Lesstif library.
Lesstif does not implement everything present in Motif.
Perhaps that's the cause of those messages (not sure).
Motif was a proprietary library for a long time (hence
the free alternative Lesstif) but Motif is now LGPL. Your
Linux distribution may have packages for Motif which
can supersede Lesstif. At least Ubuntu has packages for
either Lesstif or Motif. I don't know about Scientific Linux.
But anyway, both Lesstif or Motif are rather old and quite
buggy in my opinion, due to poor type checking in the APIs
and badly documented memory management causing leaks
in many Motif GUIs. It also predates Unicode so I don't
think that Lesstif or Motif Vim GUI support Unicode among
other things. You'd be better with the gtk2 GUI.
Unfortunately I cannot get vim to compile with gtk2. I've taken the
trouble to remove all gtk2 (and things that depended on it) and
re-installed it, and still configure won't let vim compile with gtk2
support.
yum -y remove gtk2.x86_64
(then re-installed gtk2 and re-installed all 388 packages depending on
gtk2)
As for Motif...
cec/ xorn? yum -y install openmotif.x86_64
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
Package openmotif-2.3.3-4.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
So I'm a bit stuck, it seems. I suppose I could redirect (2>/dev/null)
vim's stderr output -- that at least removes the noise.

Charles Campbell
