+o Be sure that you link libXm _b_e_f_o_r_e libXt. Failure to
do so is a programmer error that will result in a
mysterious core dump. The reason for this is because
libXm and libXt both have a _V_e_n_d_o_r_S_h_e_l_l widget. It is
important that the one from libXm is the first one the
loader encounters.
+o It is far more efficient (both in terms of memory use
and speed) to use _X_t_S_e_t_V_a_l_u_e_s to set up a large
scrolled list than to use _X_m_L_i_s_t_A_d_d_I_t_e_m_s with the same
array of list items.
+o Of the two drag-and-drop protocols in use
(_p_r_e_r_e_g_i_s_t_e_r_e_d and _d_y_n_a_m_i_c), Silicon Graphics _s_t_r_o_n_g_l_y
suggests that you stick to the dynamic protocol:
- Only the dynamic protocol is being standardized at
the X Consortium ICCCM level.
- The preregistered protocol has known logical
problems, connected with the source needing to
draw into the destination's window. If that
window is a different visual, it isn't always
handled correctly.
- Because of the need to keep a drop site database
up to date, some performance problems are caused
by using the preregistered protocol.
+o There are some known demo program shortcomings:
