A lot of applications still do not mainly because by the time OpenMotif was out.. "Motif" was dead except for legacy computer code that a lot of research institutes still use. It looks from the amount of porting that has been done in this thread that a lot of those problems are easier to fix now? From the people who did the porting was it a quick fix or a bunch of patches? -- Stephen J Smoogen. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
