I am having a problem similar to the one mentioned by Tony Bennett in a
couple of messages to this list back in January.
I use XWin -query to establish an XDMCP connection to a Solaris 10 host
(Tony's was AIX). I log in to Solaris CDE without any issues. Then as
soon
as I open and close one of the CDE "panels", XWin no longer responds to
keystrokes or mouse clicks. Moving the mouse around works fine, and
hovering the mouse over a window with a tooltip (for example the
perfmeter)
still causes the tooltip to be displayed, but clicking and keystrokes
are
ignored. The only recourse is to terminate XWin from the X icon in the
system tray or from Task Manager.
As an experiment, I tried running GNOME rather than CDE as my desktop
session, and that worked a little better, but as soon as I started a
Motif-based application (IBM/Rational Apex Ada development environment),
the
keyboard and mouse clicks died again.
Running CDE and Apex on the same Solaris box via Cygwin/X 1.5 works
flawlessly. This problem only started occurring with 1.7. I even tried
compiling xorg-xserver 1.7.4.0 from source to see if there was a problem
specific to 1.7.3.0, but it behaved the exact same way.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Mark
