- I haven't seen this personally, but I've spoken with several customers
- who have had the problem with hpterm. The information that we normally
- give customers is as follows:
-
- The hpterm X client is waiting to get the value of some selection
- ("Customize Data:") and not succeeding. The Sun server should
- realize that there is no owner of that selection and should return
- None as the selection value.
-
- The bug has been reported to Sun (Sun bug id is 1076332). The problem
- exists only with OpenWindows 3.0. Any Motif 1.1 client will have this
- problem. A work-around is to set the following reso X server:
-
- *useColorObj: false

- Hope this helps,
