- I have a SUN SPARCstation IPC running the latest version of openwindows. This
- latest version has caused me unusual grief. Most of my applications are running
- remote decwindows and displaying back to the sun. Periodically, at no set
- interval, everything but the mouse pointer freezes. ie I can't pull down any
- menus, open or close windows, enter any commands etc. What I can do is move
- the pointer around and in fact, as the pointer is moved over a corner of any
- window, it indeed turns into a concentric-circle icon (yet I can't resize
- anything with the buttons frozen). As my console window is not always visible,
- I'm not sure if the following symptom always occurs however I've often noticed
- a console message saying something to the affect "olwm ... an incorrect
- bitmap..." Any suggestions would really be appreciated as SUN's service
- line is about as useful as a wet match.
