xfig and mwm problems ...

[Harold L Hunt II]

The man has a point: I just tried to duplicate the problem and succeeded 
in duplicating the problem :)

Okay, the reason this problem exists is due to the stupid VendorShell 
that is used by Xt.  LessTif overrides VendorShell with its own and we 
had to write a hack to make this work on Cygwin/X.

Unfortunately, Xaw3d also overrides the VendorShell with its own 
version.  However, it appears that I got a little too busy right around 
the time that I was going to release a patched Xaw3d library... I have 
the updated version built in my local tree, but I never finished testing 
it or releasing it. :)  I just tested the fix and it solves your problem.

Thanks for putting up with a forgetful developer... I had this email all 
typed up, explaing how there might be a problem since Xaw3d and LessTif 
both override the VendorShell.  Then I thought that I had better confirm 
that Xaw3d had actually been released with that fix; it hadn't, so I had 
to rewrite the whole email.  :)

Xaw3d-1.5D-5 is coming soon to a mirror near you and will fix your 
problem with xfig and mwm.
