xfig and mwm problems ...

[B. Marchand]

Well, after having obtained the most recent packages:

Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
Xaw3d                1.5D-4         OK
xfig                 3.2.4-5        OK
XFree86-bin          4.3.0-8        OK


I find I still have the same problem. However, as I said before, it only 
happens if I'm running the motif window manager (mwm). It is otherwise 
not an issue under twm or if I run startxwin.bat. Thanks for all your help.
