I'm pretty durn sure bittiness of apps vs window managers can't have any effect on anything. The two don't call or link to each other at all, they only communicate via properties set in the X server. So, I wouldn't waste any skull-sweat on angling for that herring. I'd tend to doubt that the bittiness of LO has any real effect either. The toolchain issues you're having do point at _something_ being marfed up on 64 that isn't on 32, but it strains the crap out of credibility to imagine a way it could be messed up that would work fine, except for pulling up those dialogs. So, I'd guess it's just the version that's the determinant. You might look at flipping around the various *Transient options of ctwm, on the off chance that something in them ties in with the issue (since I'd assume those are transient windows it's trying to pop up). Still a pretty long shot, but maybe worth ruling out. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [email protected] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
