I am having a problem with enter/leave events on
an X11R4 server.

I have window A with several children B, C, and D.

I enter window B getting a NotifyVirtual Enter event on A.
Thats fine.

I press the mouse, and issue an XGrabPointer call
(I need to change owner_events).
I get a LeaveNotify on A with NotifyGrab.  Fine.
I get an EnterNotify on A with NotifyUngrab.  Fine.
But now, when I move the mouse out of the window quickly
after the grab, I do not get any Leave event.

Am I dealing with a race condition, a server bug, or
a code problem?

Xt takes care of the solicitation of the PropertyNotify events for you.
If you're working at the Xlib layer, you have to use XSelectInput explicitly
to solicit the PropertyNotify events.

  XSelectInput (dpy, win, PropertyChangeMask| <<whatever other mask bits you need >>);

Then, you'll get PropertyNotify events; these notify you of
changes to property values.

You don't need to create an invisible window;  there's nothing wrong with
using your app's top-level shell window or even the default root window
to store your property (but if you use the default root window take
extra care to destroy the property when your system of application programs
terminates).

I have just recently installed X11R5 (patches 1-16) on a network
of Suns.  Unfortunately, it works fine on all of the suns on the
network except two.  They are both 4/380C's.  The problem is
that when the server comes up it refuses to recognize that it
has a color frame buffer and displays everthing in black and white.
If anyone has seen and fixed this problem please let me know via

This is probably a dumb question as I am pretty new to this, but...  I
have just been through the process of running make World and make
install for X11R5 on a Sparc running SunOS 4.1.1.  Both build and
install appear to have worked correctly.

However, when I attempt to run /usr/bin/X11/xdm I get the message

Looking in /usr/lib I see there are a series of libXaw entries, but they
seem to have an extra digit on the name, ie. the above one is

Greetings,

We are having trouble with the OpenWindows window manager, olwm.  
Although this trouble is intermittent, it is readily reproducible.
The problem is that, occasionally, upon exiting a window we get a 
stream of X errors in the console window.  The only way that we 
have found of stopping the constant stream of errors is by killing 
the window manager.  The error message output comes so fast, that 
it is difficult, if not impossible to log in to the machine to 
kill anything.  Furthermore, a customer of ours encountered this 
problem in a pre-release version of our product.  The customer 
reported that the machine that he was on started sending out such 
a volume of ethernet packets that the network crashed.

The question and reason for posting this is: Has anyone
encountered this or a similar problem, and how did you deal with
it?  Do you know what is causing it?

Here is a copy of the error message:
(Bogus control characters cleaned up:)

olwm: Warning, X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  Request Major code: 40
  Request Minor code: 0
  ResourceId 80002fb

ad nauseum....

At one point we were able to get a stack trace with the following
functions: 

ErrorHandler

(Sorry about the lack of info on the stack trace)

Any help would be appreciated.

Xperts,
I'm desparate. I've installed patches 13-17, and the XIDLE extension, and
rebuilt the full release. When I bring it up, after a minute or so, the
server dies. I assumed that XIDLE is to blame, so I removed the extension
and tried to rebuild. Now I'm getting errors when I'm build ANY executable.
For example: 

making all in ./extensions/test...
rm -f shapetest
cc -o shapetest shapetest.o -L/usr/lang/SC1.0  -pipe
   -L../.././extensions/lib -lXext  -L../.././lib/X -lX11 -L/usr/lib    
ld: /usr/lib/libXt.so.4.10: rd_shsb: can't open shared library /usr/lib/libXt.so.4.10
Compilation failed
gmake[3]: *** [shapetest] Error 4

I get the same error for all executables.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not defined, and as far as I can tell, in this
simple-minded case, shapetest.c does not use any toolkit stuff, so why does
it want to access libXt.
I typed 'ldconfig' to no avail. I made the libXt.so.* executable - also no
help here:
  -rw-r--r--  1 root       428374 Aug 28 10:09 /lib/libXt.a
  -rw-r--r--  1 root         5398 Aug 28 10:09 /lib/libXt.sa.4.10
  -rwxr-xr-x  1 root       385024 Aug 28 10:09 /lib/libXt.so.4.10*

I'm using Sun's Unbundled C compiler, version SC1.0, on a Sun SS1+ w/SunOS
4.1.2. 
Before I restore X11R5 from tape, re-apply patches 1-12 and rebuild, does
anyone have an idea?

As far as I rememeber, up to patch #12, inclusive, I built with Sun's native
cc compiler. I'm perfectly aware that The -O Option For The Sun Unbundled C
compiler is brain-dead, so I tweaked the config files not to use it.

Help!!

Thanks in advance,

Subject: Xview/Openwin clients kills my keyboard in twm/gwm
Date: 28 Aug 92 16:30:56 GMT
Organization: Quantum Theory Project, University of Florida


We are running several different window managers here including gwm,
twm, and olwm.  When I run a client compiled against the XView
libraries or suns openwin libraries when I am running gwm (the same
thing occurs with twm), it often hangs my X session.  The window
manager handles mouse events (I can pop up my menus, close windows,
etc.), and it handles the keyboard modifiers (the control mouse button
events pop up the xterm menus), but those seem to be the only types of
events that the window manager handles.  If I move to an xterm and
type, no characters appear on the screen.  I CAN insert characters by
cutting and pasting however.

Has anyone seen this behavior before?  More importantly, is there a
command I can stick in my menu to restore the keyboard?  There are a
few clients that I would like to use enough that I would be willing to
put up with the necessity of occasionally having to restore the
keyboard.

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know, but there is an article by Bob Scheifler in Issue 2 of The

(my notes are in [brackets])

The main areas he covers are:
X protocol extensions
low bandwidth X [NCD X/Remote?]
multi-threaded server
multithreaded xlib (already available, I think)
x test suite (already pre-released)
PEX upward compatible changes (5.1) in the near future;
PEX incompatible protocol changes will probably be made later
PEXlib changes being discussed
Mult-buffering and Stereo [3d, not HiFi] extension
X Image extension
Synchronisation extension
better typography - kerning, scaling, rotation, sub-pixel metrics, outlines,

2D graphics
    downloadable fonts
    PostScript-style paths

    splies
Internationalisation

icccm changes

You'll have to buy the book for the details :-)

The first resource manager matching rule applies to this situation, and 
that rule is:

	An entry that contains a matching component (whether name, class
	or the character "?") takes precedence over entries that elide
	the level (that is, entries that match the level in a loose
	binding.)

The character "?" is new in R5 and does not apply to this problem.  An 
asterisk is a loose binding.   According to this rule, the translations
resource from the HP site app-defaults file for xterm will take precedence
over your example resource, because yours has a leading asterisk which
is a loose binding.

> #  what do i need to do to get the translations listed initially to work on
> #  the hp?

Give a resource specification that will take precedence over the one in
the HP site app-default file, such as:

    XTerm*vt100.translations:#override Meta<KeyPress>: string(0x1b) insert()


Another person wrote:

> report the bug to hp.  Their Xrm routines are broken.

No, it is not the Xrm routines that are broken.  Application developers
should note that it is important for users to be able to easily specify
resources that can take precedence over ones given in the application's
site app-defaults file.   Resources in the applications site app-defaults
file should be specified with class, not instance names, whenever possible,
and with loose bindings rather than tight bindings whenever possible.
Also, since the resources in an application's site app-defaults file
are always applied only to that application class, such as XTerm, it is
usually unnecessary to provide the class name of the application as a
leading element of the resource.  That's the point that applies here;
the vendor could have shipped

*vt100.translations:#override Meta<KeyPress>: string(0x1b) insert()

instead of this:

XTerm*vt100.translations:#override Meta<KeyPress>: string(0x1b) insert()

in the site app-defaults file for XTerm.  Taking out the leading XTerm
now would be fine, except you'd have to think about compatibility with
existing users' resources -- will taking it out affect user resources
that depend on that level of specificity?

In that case, you don't want "the installed colormap"; you want to know
what's actually in the hardware.  X does not provide any way to find
this out.  Even in what is probably the simplest case, a normal 8-bit
PseudoColor display with a single hardware colormap, knowing the
installed colormap (in this case, "the" installed colormap) doesn't
help, because X makes no promises about what's in the hardware cells
corresponding to unallocated cells in the colormap.

And what if the area selected contains windows of different visuals, or
worse, of different depths?

Now that I've just told you you can't do what you want for two
different reasons, I'll tell you how to do what you want.  Well, not
really, but I'll tell you how to do what you asked for.  It's called
XListInstalledColormaps.

Yes. Don't create a new colormap, but allocate from the default one. Color
allocation will succeed on a 24-bit server anyway and if the servers are true
gray-scale you shouldn't have problems with allocating the necessary 256 grays
either.
