From: wyvern@gnu.ai.mit.edu (The Wyvern) Subject: Strange problem with olvwm from XView 3L3 Date: 13 Feb 1993 22:02:45 GMT
I recently installed the XView 3L3 package from SunSite, and it seems to work
great except for a mildly annoying problem I'm having with olvwm which seems
to pop up from time to time.
Ordinarily, when trying to access the xterm menu (any of them) by holding
down the control key and the appropriate mouse button, I get the expected
results, but occasionally something will go wrong with the window manager
at a seemingly random point in time; from that point on when I hold down
control and press a mouse button, I get a beep from the wm, and no xterm
menu appears. This won't be fixed until I log out/reboot, and after olvwm
starts again, the problem continues. The reason I suspect olvwm is that
when this problem occurs, all xterms are affected, including new ones I
start up subsequently.
Does anyone have an idea of a way to fix this?
