Hi,

I am working under Fedora 5 fully updated which provides openmotif 2.3.0.19 in standard (which is a beta version as I understand) instead of 2.2.x.

When using Xmgrace, windows collapse or resize after being used. Xmgrace developper ascribes the problem to openmotif 2.3 (as Xmgrace works fine with 2.2). Many posts have been posted on his forum and he advised to contact your forum.

Is it a bug in v2.3 or a permanent change in behavior of openmotif, that the developper of xmgrace should take into account ? Any chance to correct the bug soon ?... if it is a bug !

I am porting an application to Mac OS X which originally (~1995) was written for SGI IRIX. I notice that none of the scale widget titles (set via XmNtitleString) are displaying. Is anyone familiar with this problem?

Hello.

I am trying to compile OpenMotif 2.3 (openmotif-2.3.0-20060106.tar.gz) downloaded from your site.

I am running Debian Etch (testing). I dont know what other information would be helpful, If you need more info please say so.

And thanks for your hints. Mark S?nchez.

Here is the latest error given by make:

I have recently upgraded from Fedora Core 4 to Fedora Core 5. Prior to upgrading my Opera browser worked beautifully. Since upgrading, the following message appears every time I start Opera:

> "Opera encountered a problem during plug-in setup.
> Plug-ins will not work properly.
> Check your installation.
>
> Could not start plug-in executable 'operamotifwrapper'.
> /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/operamotifwrapper-3
> Please install Motif.
>
> Plug-in path
> (Path can be modified in Preferences dialog)
>
> /usr/lib/opera/plugins
> /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins"

I tried changing the application's fontList to use -monotype-arial-... Unicode font and the menus were missing the underline on their mnemonics.

When I try to compile openmotif-2.3.0 (after doing ./configure) on Ubuntu Linux (Breezy), I get:

In file included from XmStrDefs.c:10:
../Xm/Xm.h:76:34: error: X11/extensions/Print.h: No such file or directory

In addition I have motif programs that won't compile with the standard ubuntu motif package (2.2.3-1), giving similar errors.

I do have a header file: /usr/X11R6/include/Xm/Print.h, but perhaps this is a different one?

I have also installed the package libxext-dev .

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Quick question. I have an XmList widget that has XmNvisibleItemCount set to 5 with no items actually stored in the widget. With openmotif 2.2.3, it respecits the visiibleItemCount when calculating the height.

With openMotif 2.3 beta 2, the widget is basically zero pixels high. If I put an empty string in the widget, it does resize to be one row high.

What's the correct behavior for XmList when XmNvisibleItemCount is greater than XmNitemCount?
