>> When ever I have a window with an image in it (editimage, displayimage) when my cursor is outside the active display window everything is fine, but when I move the cursor inside the active window my screen goes black except for the image its self. This blacks out all of the information and I can see just a ghost of the pulldown menu icons. This is running on a SUN Sparc station IPX. I have tryed the different .Xdefaults provided with khoros, including the .Xdefaults that came with the sun for OPENWIN.
Any help will be appreciated.

Q29. I'm on a SUN architecture, using OpenWindows 2.0. When I display images,
they come up with colored speckles in them, or strangely colored in
some way. This condition rights itself when I move the cursor into
the image, but then the colors in my user interface get messed up -
sometimes I can't see anything but the image. Is this a bug in Khoros?
A29. No, it is a result of us having to work around a bug in the X server
which will cause the server to dump when any display routine attempts
to create a private colormap. We managed to work around the bug,
but at the cost of user interface colors no longer being defined as
the original colors. This implies that with any display routine, your
user interface colors will be undefined if the programs cannot use
the default colormap; in this case, your user interface colors may
disappear, may be arbitrarily defined, or may have their colors
re-defined according to the current colormap. The best you can do
is try to limit the colors used in your image, thus leaving more
color cells "left over" for the user interface to use.
Note that this bug has been fixed in OpenWindows 3.0.
