- Hello, the FAQ explains a way to detect when a mwm window is closed from
- the pulldown menu in its upper left corner. This works fine on the RS/6000,
- running AIX 3.2 (motif 1.1).
-
- However, this no longer works properly on a DEC 3000 (I believe it runs
- Motif 1.2). What happens is that when I close one of my windows, the
- entire application immediately exits, and none of my routines get called
- to handle the closing of a window. This also happens if I remove the code
- to detect window closings. In fact, it happens in any and every
- application I compile on the computer. Whether the window is a dialog box
- or a shell widget, closing any window kills the entire application.
-
- Does anyone know what the deal is here? Is it even a Motif issue or did
- DEC do something odd with their window manager?
-
- Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks
