Kamens Sender: jik@ATHENA.MIT.EDU To: bgardner@ATHENA.MIT.EDU In-Reply-To: 's message of Tue, 5 Sep 89 22:31:03 -0400 <8909060231.AA03203@PINK.MIT.EDU> Subject: a couple of mwm questions There haven't really been any satisfying ones. A couple people suggested ways to get rid of the [1] 9999 messages, but they don't work. A couple people said there's no way to get rid of them. I can't help but wonder about that, but I think it's true. One suggested hack was to set the SHELL environment variable to /bin/sh before starting mwm. That does solve the problem, but any xterm windows that get started from mwm will then have their shells set to /bin/sh. There are ways to get around that, but I haven't played with it (decided it wasn't worth the effort). As for the problem of all my windows getting shifted up and to the left, I'm using the version of mwm in motifdev, and I think that one isn't doing it (djf suggested that). jik
