The reason is simple, as der Mouse has pointed out in previous posts.
The symbol is a pixmap. The pixmap has pixel values coded into it when it is
created. If you select your colours before the dialog is created (when the
pixmap is also created [for simplification in this example]) then the pixmap
will be initialised with the correct colours. If you then change the colours
later the pixmap will already have the previous pixel values encoded in it.
Result: it doesn't look the same.

Hi,

As part of an xview application that I am writing I would like to include a
journalling facility.  That is, a facility which records all of the events produced
by the user since they last saved their file.   This would then give the ability 
to reconstruct a diagram in the event of power failure, (or perish-the-thought,
core dumps ).

I know it can be done because DecWrite does a very similar thing.  Has anyone
had any experience of this sort of thing?  Am I re-inventing the wheel?  If I were to
code this from scratch what events should I look for (my application is essentially a drawing 
package).


PLEASE HELP ME......

I think not. A friend of mine has taken the drastic action
of integrating his own stroke font library into his X code
(he never uses the X bitmap fonts in his graphics) so he can control

Hi,

I am looking for X11 source code for a utility which will take
the name of a window on another display, and then display 
a copy of it on another display.

I have compiled and ran an X11 utility called xwatchwin
(and xwatchwin2) that almost does this.  It fails when
the original window gets resized or iconified, and 
runs by grabbing an image of the entire window.

I may have to write it, but it would be useful for such
a program to force a complete repaint of the original 
window, then catch these X11 events paint the copy.
(at least to start with).   This may not be possible, though.

I'd appreciate any information on programs that already
do this kind of thing.  Thanks,

-Randy

Big ones! Most particularly I got one of the QX-15's to evaluate. Got
it out of the box and looked at the back. Guess what? No ethernet ports!
Sure the ad only talks about it's great remote capabilities with a
high-speed modem but you just kind of *assume* (my dad warned me about
doing that :) that Ethernet will be there and hence it's mentioned only
the fine-print. As in do you want BNC/AUI or 10BASET/AUI, etc....

Plus the fact that the Qume folks I got on the phone didn't know the
product and had to refer me to an Atlanta dealer. The Atlanta dealer
didn't know anything about them either, who then referred me to 
a yet smaller company that sells stuff for him. This guy does video
imaging work on 486 PC's and didn't know squat about Xterminals but
helped me out by getting me an eval unit.

NCD seems to have a pretty good 15" mono unit for around $1K. I got their
newer model 15r (RISC) in on Friday. Didn't have time to set it up so it's
Monday before I'll get to play with it. Had BNC/AUI ethernet, plus a
serial and a parallel port. The owners guide talked about X-remote, their
optimized package for X over serial which they claimed was much faster
than SLIP (what isn't?). The unit seemed pretty solid, small, and most
importantly to me *quiet*. We have some Sun 3's people use as Xterminals
and I can't stand to be in the office with one on all day, too much fan
noise and monitor hum. 

The NCD rep seemed pretty on the ball and knowledgable. Claims the next
set of EPROMs and s/w will support the Low Bandwidth X (LBX) features intended
for X11R6 for even better remote performance. He even offered to stop in
next week and talk to me and make sure I got it working okay and answer
any questions. I'm giving NCD lots of point for customer relations.

Haven't gotten to Tektronics yet, maybe next week.

On my Sun4 the same Problem occured. To solve it I removed the two Files

Afterwards I started make on the original makefile.

This happens both on Sun 4.1.3 & Sun 4.1.2. Is this a known problem with the 
Sun 4.1.[23] Loader? We DO NOT see these errors on a 4.1.1. 

Thanks,
