The problem with Motif that Motif isn't Motif. You have lesstif, openmotif and some commercial motif libraries. SuSE comes with lesstif and openmotif. Depending on your version one of them is installed. We had some big problems with the different open source motif libraries (lesstif and openmotif) and we upgraded to a commercial motif variant, MetroMotif from MetroLink. I hate it to say, but in this particular case the commercial variant is better than the open source one's. Regards Harry

I have an app written using Motif widgets. I've been using it for years,= and on many different versions of SuSE Linux, as well as on several different computers. This app has consistently caused X to spontaniously restart, usually after several hours of being opened. It doesn't seem to matter i= f I am directly interacting with the app or if it's just sitting idle in the background.
I know it doesn't act like a 'normal' X program in many ways. It's hard = to explain, but it seems to 'bully' its way into the inner workings of X. A= re there any known problems with X and Motif?
I know, the biggest known problem with X and Motif is that Motif stinks, = but I'm looking for technical issues.
