Problems running HP-UX X-clients under OW 3.0

2007-12-25 7:56:00

Sun-Managers,

my problem was that X-Clients using the Motif1.1 library from HP

blocked for ca. 15 min before starting up when using

OpenWindows 3.0 as display server.

I received numerous replies, many thanks to all.

The outcome was:

1. xnews has a bug (Sun BugId 1076332).

2. The timeouts in the HP Motif library are set to bad values.

3. There is a workaround:

Add the line: *useColorObj: false

to your .Xdefaults file (you must reload the file with xrdb or restart OW).

This is a temporary work-around introduced in the Motif library.

4. The problem was discussed in comp.sys.hp and comp.sys.sun.apps

5. There is a patch for the xnews server: 100444-26

Somebody mentioned, that 100444-18 (or later) is sufficient.

The README file of this patch does not mention the BugId 1076332,

but it is nevertheless fixed.

Sun sent me the 100444-26 patch, and everything is working fine now.

Until I got the patch, I used the workaround.
