- Hi, had an annoying problem crop up recently - we have a couple of people
- who use MacX 1.1 to connect to our sun (4.1.1, X11R5). They would like
- to use olwm or olvwm - however it complains that another window manager
- is running, this is odd, although I know that screens [name]:0.0 and
- [name]:0.2, are managed by the Mac window manager, screens [name]:0.1
- and [name]0.3 are supposed to be unmanaged. TWM will come up report
- about window managers running on screens 0 and 2, but then work ok on
- screen 3, even when the display is set explicitly to [name]:0.3 olwm and
- olvwm (3.2) just bomb out. The really peculiar part is that both people
- swear that it used to work a few months ago - even though we have not
- changed the configuration (I did update olvwm from 3.1 to 3.2).
-
- Any pointers greatly appreciated.
