Nod. But apparently enough applications work Just Fine with LessTif that it is seen as a completely viable replacement. So most applications must not do the changing of a dialog in the same way that Xastir does. *shrug* At the moment, Xastir is set up so that lesstif users get a less snazzy view of Xastir than OpenMotif users do, just to work around this bug. There's probably a different way to go about it so that we don't have bugs to work around. Then again, maybe we should get started on Xastir 2 so we don't use Motif at all ... -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
