 Hi John. Is using this openmotif version a complete alternative to the
 lesstif version?

Pretty much.  The only caveat is that libmotif3 (openmotif) is  in
multiverse, but nedit is in universe.  If all you care about is
functionality, then openmotif is the better choice.  In my experience,
nedit is completely unusable with lesstif so openmotif is the *only*
real choice right now.


Cheers,

John

I got 366 requests for default.ida from complete novice webservers.

 It would be much better to try to fix this in nedit (or lesstif if
necessary)

Yes, definitely.  However, it may be sensible to link nedit with
openmotif in the meantime though, even if it means moving it to
multiverse, because there's little point in shipping a completely
useless program just so that it's free.

Non-free + functional beats free + non-functional any day :-)


Cheers,

John

 with lesstif. But I can't reproduce this behaviour eitehr on dapper 6.06
 with the latest nedit...

I had two computers (an old dual PII-350 which is now dead and a Dell
D400 laptop which I no longer have) on which I couldn't reproduce it,
and I now have two (different computers, a P4-3GHz and an HP dv5230tx
laptop) on which I can.  Reliably, repeatably, every time.

I'd offer to help debug it but I'm heading off for a very long holiday
tomorrow which will include long periods without 'net access (and
anyway, I'm escaping from s/w development!).  If there's been no
progress by the time I return (mid-October) I'll be happy to do what I
can to help fix it.


Cheers,

John
