Hello to the list! I'm new to xastir but am loving what I see so far (or can see). I've searched back through the list archives, READMEs, FAQ, etc but don't know if I missed a workaround for this or not. I started by just installing xastir 1.90 binary from the Ubuntu repos but immediately ran into a problem with some of the menu dialogs. The dialog opens as a tiny bullet-shaped window with no handles to enlarge and right-click only allows me to close, move, etc but not resize or maximize.
Do a Google search through the Xastir list archives looking for "cigar" or "cigar-shaped". As I recall this was a window manager setting having to do with special effects or something (compiz perhaps?) that had to be switched off. I don't run those window managers so don't run into that problem. I believe other Motif-based programs have similar problems with that window manager setting. -- Curt, WE7U. <http://www.eskimo.com/~archer> APRS: Where it's at! <http://www.xastir.org> Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.
