The image display client xv does this if it can't find enough free color
cells. Look into the source to find out about the details.

I read, that this is a bug in gcc, because with the sun c-compiler it works
correctly.

Subject: twm keeps the mouse
Date: 1 Oct 92 15:49:22 GMT
Reply-To: joshua5@cs.bu.edu
Organization: Boston Univ., Computer Science

Is there some property of twm that I need to enable/disable to get rid of
the following behaviour?

Start X.  Screen clears, console xterm comes up, twm starts.  Standard
mouse X cursor comes up and is movable.  First click of mouse works
normally.  Cursor will change appropriately but does not change back.
Later clicks cause the mouse cursor to change to a 3 button mouse and shows
buttons one or two depressed.  xwininfo says it can not grab mouse.  If twm
is killed, problem starts over.  No twm, no problem.  

If this is a twm bug, my system info is:

486 50mhz.  BSD/386 0.9.1 no patches.  Essentially X386.
ATI Graphics Ultra.   (no interrupts jumpered, 8 bit ROM I/O necessary)

If someone can suggest how to debug twm with standard X tools, I might be
able to solve this on my own.

Thanks.

The value of the x,y width and height resources depend on the parent-widget
they live in. So, when you change the x- and y-resources, for example, the
widget will ask its parent whether it is ok to move or become larger. The
parent widget in return will ask its ancestors for an OK, and somewhere up or
down the line permission is either granted (in which your x and y change to
the value you wanted, or a value close by) or refused (in which case the x and
y don't change either). By calling XtConfigureWidget directly (which only
Manager widgets should do) you bypass this haggling-mechanism. This can result
in unexpected behavior (you should never change the width and height of an
application or its components without the user's permission, one of the ten
commandments of user-interfacing :-). 

In short, changing the value of XtNx is not entirely bad practice (sometimes
necessary to handle font-sizes properly, for example) but whether it will work
depends on the hierarchy of widgets of your application and the way they are
configured. In Motif, you have to set the x and y resources in case the paren
t is a BulletinBoard for example, but in such case it is better to specify
those in a resource file.

Hope this helps.

I am using InterViews 3.1-beta2 on a Sun Sparc2. Within
my program I try to find out if it was started with
   # prog -monochrome       or only with   
   # prog

The program looks like that

#include <stdio.h>
#include <InterViews/session.h>
#include <InterViews/style.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    Session* session = new Session("prog", argc, argv);
    Style *st = session->style();

    if( st->value_is_on("monochrome") ) 
            printf( "mono is on\n");
    else    printf( "mono is off\n");
    
    ...

I managed to successfully compile Interviews both versions 3.0 and 3.1 on a Sun
IPX using Sun's CC compiler. However I get problems when I try to use either
the 3.0 or 3.1 version of ibuild. 

When I use the 3.0 version of ibuild it immediately crashes with a segmentation
fault, UNLESS I change to the directory where the binary resides. Then I
can start it up OK.

When I start the 3.1 version, it starts up ok from anywhere, but crashes
with a segmentation fault when I try to use the save or generate
options from the 'File' pull down menu.

Are some fixes needed for a Sun? My local.def file that I used to make
the 3.0 system is appended. (I used a similar file to make 3.1 except for
changing the interviews installed root directory.

Thanks

An implementation of InterViews 2.6 for Windows 3.0 is available in
ftp.tu-graz.ac.at:/pub/msdos/iv26/iv26_w30.zip (2.2 MByte).
(129.27.2.3)

Included are executables of all (2.6) applications and all tools
(excluding the assumed Borland compiler) to port other applications.

We are not able to offer any support.

Using a pre-release snapshot of gcc-2.3, I was able to compile all of
IV-3.1beta2 on a DECstation-5000/120 running Ultrix 4.2.

I made the following changes:

in src/bin/dclock/clocktime.c, I added 'ultrix' to the #ifdef list in
``void Clock::GetTime''

I added the following to my local.def:

#define TIFFStdCDefines \
    -DCOLORIMETRY_SUPPORT -DYCBCR_SUPPORT \
    -DHAVE_IEEEFP=1 -DUSE_VARARGS=0 -DUSE_PROTOTYPES=1
	
	I think gcc.def should probably override the TIFF.def
	defaults - gcc provides stdargs, and IV should use it.


Idraw, iclass and ibuild appear to work (didn't play with ibuild much)
-- however, the 'doc' program still dies on startup

Thus, when gcc-2.3 is released (sometime in october, I think) it looks
likely that it will compile interviews out of the box.
