No, these problems are definitly pollution ( == Motif :) independent, I (never use complex softlink constructions and) tried what you suggested: > To test this theory, I'd simply reinstall my XFree86 distribution onto > a clean /usr/X11R6 then add CDE on top of this and then either reboot > or run ldconfig by hand to rebuild my LD cache (very important!). > See if problems persist. I had to reinstall CDE several times until it decided to work. I have no clue why it didn't before. Some programs, e.g. xemacs or xfig, had to be rebuilt in order not to segfault. Motif 2.0 of course needs to be reinstalled after installing CDE since the 2.0 binaries and header files are replaced by the older versions supplied with CDE. It's a hard way to get happy, particularly with with CDE... Lars
