right mouse button again, motif on solaris

[Chris Twiner]

Hi All,

An application, Razor (Motif) that I'm running won't allow the right button 
to work.  After investigation this appears to be a bug in the Motif 
libraries within Solaris.

However as it appears different on different Xservers the common factor 
seems to be the mouse setting.  A post :

Seems to indicate that the server tells the client how many mouse buttons 
are supported.  This seems to be a motif issue.  Under NEdit for example it 
is possible to get the right mouse button menu by disabling num-lock, 
scoll-lock and caps-lock.  Of course Razor doesn't work this way. (basic 
problem is drag and drop doesn't work over ssh, since it uses it's own 
protocol, so a right mouse button is the only other way to work it).

Exceed doesn't share the problem cygwin has.  Cygwin's problem seems very 
similar to the problem indicated by the above post.  i.e. cygwin tells the 
motif version there are X number of buttons and it chooses the last button 
for right button as default.

Is there any way of checking what an individual application believes or 
indeed checking/changing what the cygwin is telling the clients?

Your's confused further,

Chris
