Nearly every problem I've had with JDK on FreeBSD related to Motif. And Xig does not have a Motif for 2.2.5 yet (no word from Xig on when either, as of Tuesday). Is it possible to change from Motif to something else (I don't know what; tk/tcl?)? Or is this what Sun/JavaSoft uses, assuming everyone has it? Lesstif just isn't *there* yet, either. I'd hate to have JDK tied to a commercial (read, "has a price tag") product, if we could work around it, with a free one. If its not possible, then just ignore the ramblings of a financially-challenged developer. Patrick
