   Hi, I'm running OpenWindows 3.0, and am having the problem

   Xnews appears to be saving under the popup menus where those menus
   obscure other windows, but not where they obscure the window to which
   the menus are attached!  Yikes!  The menu windows have 'override_redirect'
   and 'save_under' set on them.

Just a point to remember,  save_under and backing_store are hints
to the server about the intended uses of windows.  The server is
free to ignore any of these hints and therefore the behavior isn't,
strictly speaking,  a bug :) .   On the other hand,  I would expect
that save_under would either always be honored or not,  with the 
possible exception of very large windows or tight memory.

You might make sure that those bits are really set.  A tool such
as xwininfo will do a query and print out the information for 
you.  You might also get valuable info by using xprop.

The above #include-statement requires a Pushbutton.h (case-sensitive)
file in the current working directory. Even if Motif is installed on
your system, it wouldn't be here.

You tried MenuButton instead, so I assume, that Motif isn't available
(I think you found that name somewhere in the include-directories :-)
In this case, you may bought the wrong book, because the examples are
based on Motif.

PushButton is a Motif-Widget, that invokes a command if it is selected
with a button press (similar to the Command Widget of the Athena- or the
OblongButton Widget of the Open-Look-Widgetset). So if Motif isn't
available, use Command instead because the Athena Widgets are included
in MIT's standard distribution and should be available.

MenuButton is an Athena-Widget, invoking a menu (like the ButtonStack
Widget in Open-Look or the CascadeButton in Motif). These require
siblings to be displayed if they are selected. So the messages aren't
a bug, they are a feature (debugging information).

For a good description of the Athena Widgets look into "The Definitive
Guides to the X Window System"

A few remarks on your question:

-  Having your 486 (either running UNIX or MS-DOS) act as
   X server is possible. For UNIX this is obvious, for
   MS-DOS (and also for MS-Windows) are commercial products
   available. I believe that the products of Hummingbird
   are considered to be one of the best.

-  You need then some networking protocol on your serial line.
   SLIP (Serial Line IP) is the most commonly known solution,
   PPP is another possibility.

-  NCD has developed a special protocol for dealing with the
   X protocol on serial lines. It includes compression techniques,
   I believe. Of course, NCD has included this software in their
   X-terminal-software, and for the X-client-side (e.g. UNIX-server)
   you can buy the software.
   I think NCD has contributed Xremote to the X consortium, and it
   might be included in X11R6. Maybe someone else can comment on this.

-  I don't know how SLIP/PPP and modems with good compression techniques
   (V.42bis) relate to Xremote w.r.t. performance. Any comments?

Hopefully this explains some things.

Subject: X11R5 under SCO... still trying
Organization: Computer Variables, Inc
Date: Sun, 27 Dec 1992 21:34:27 GMT

I'm (still) trying to compile the MIT X11R5 source under SCO Unix 3.2.4.
I've gotten _nearly_ everything to compile by adding the TCP/IP Runtime
system, but things still aren't right.

I've tracked the problem down to two files: netdb.h and uio.h.
These are apparently either not included in the SCO distribution, or are
hidden under some other name.

So here's the question:  Are these files publicly available (GNU, etc)?
Is it possible to compile X11R5 under SCO - I haven't heard from _anyone_
who has!  Should I just shell out the bucks for SCO's X, or even ODT?

Reply!  Please!  Put this sysadmin out of his misery!
(not to mention letting him get some sleep <grin>)

Thanks!

Is anyone out there experienced with making and running
X clients under HP-UX?  I am trying to build xrn for HP-UX
version 8.0.  It compiles and links, however at runtime I 
get several undefined data symbols, such as _XA_LENGTH and
_XA_TEST.  There is also an undefined routine called
XmuCvtStringToOrientation.  These are all coming from a 
runtime library called libXaw.sl.  I did notice that
we apparently have X11R4, not R5, and all our libraries
are dated from early 1991.  Could that be it?

Subject: Information on Image extensions(s) to X?
Organization: The Internet
Date: Wed, 23 Dec 1992 11:46:00 GMT

Apologies to those of you who have seen this before ; I originally sent this
question to the ximage list, and the response was almost total silence. Alan
Mazer at JPL pointed me at Joseph Mauro at Digital, Merrimack, as the author of
a document proposing an image extension written some four years ago, but he
didn't have an email address for him. The telephone number he gave appears to
connect me to something, but the voice at the far end of it is so faint I can't
tell what they are saying :-(.

If Joseph Mauro is still out there, or if anyone has an email address for him,
I'd be grateful if they could get in touch. Otherwise, if you are able
to answer any of my questions below on image extensions to X, I'd also
be grateful.

------------------------------------Forwarded message: (originally to ximage:)

I joined this list a few weeks ago partly because I have a particular
interest in imaging, and also because I am trying to gather information
on X extensions in general for a presentation I am due to give in
a couple of weeks. I've managed to gather a good deal of information
on Consortium standard extensions, of course, and on other proprietary
and demonstration-type extensions, but on imaging I've drawn a blank.

I'd like to know:

What is the status of the image extension which I thought I had heard
of a year or two back ?
Is it still in development ?
Is there only one ?
What does the extension add to X ?
Is there any information available via FTP on this area ?

I realise that's a lot of questions, and I don't expect full answers,
but any information will be appreciated. I will summarise to the list
before the New Year, so answers can be sent to me via email (see signature
for addresses.)

Thanks in expectation,

If I may express a bit of concern.  We utilize ANSI X3.64 to ensure that we have

Ok, I'm want to create an XImage from a datafile (an SGI RGB file at this
moment).  
I wasn't sure how much space to allocate for XCreateImage's *data,
so I use XGetImage.
I open a DrawingAreaWidget, I set it's width, and
height to the original image's w & h, using XtVaSetValues.  
Then I do XGetImage from that widget's window, so I can have the XImage
struct.  But I get this error message:
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  73 (X_GetImage)
  Serial number of failed request:  36
  Current serial number in output stream:  36

I looked in the FAQ, where it says that BadMatch might mean the window
is out of the screen, but it's not.  The WM lets me put the window somewhere
and then it spits the error msg out.

What am I doing wrong?

X11R5, all fixes through 21, SunOS 4.1.3, ELC

xauth add :0 XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 [random hex string]
and Xsun -auth ~/.Xauthority, but attempting to start clients

One way of doing this would be to allocate a color plane for your overlay
line.  You said that the images are quantized into an 8 bit pixmap; if this is
because your server only has 8 planes, then you'd have to quantize into 7
planes instead, reserving one for the overlay.  Also this requires that you
have a PseudoColor display (because you need writable color cells.)

The function you want to do this is XAllocColorPlanes().  Basically, you want
to allocate a plane, write the same color values into all cells corresponding
to that plane, and then draw your lines into that plane using the GCPlaneMask
GC component.  For an example of how to do this, see qix.c in the xscreensaver
distribution (on export.lcs.mit.edu in contrib/xsaver.tar.Z.)

Try the "xon" command comes with X11R5. It does everything like
this for you. And it is only a small shell script.
