I usually run cmdtool from an xterm and get the opposite behaviour when I do, for example, ls -la on my home directory - the cmdtool locks up after the ls completes, and any further input ends up on the xterm I invoked it from! There seem to be quite a few problems with the xview and olvwm ports (that's not being critical - it must have been quite a job getting it to work at all). Here are all the things I've done that seem to improve things:- 1. Change all calls to cfree() to free(). 2. Edit all the hard-coded references to "/usr/lib/X11" (yuck!) 3. ln -s /usr/X11R6 /usr/X11 4. Add the following to your .profile, if you use sh/bash/ksh as your shell:- EXTRASMENU=/usr/X11R6/lib/.text_extras_menu OLWMMENU=/usr/X11R6/lib/openwin-menu OPENWINHOME=/usr/X11R6 export EXTRASMENU OLWMMNEU OPENWINHOME If you use csh/tcsh, add to your .cshrc instead:- setenv EXTRASMENU /usr/X11R6/lib/.text_extras_menu setenv OLWMMENU /usr/X11R6/lib/openwin-menu setenv OPENWINHOME /usr/X11R6 5. Either copy the distribution clients/olwm/.olwmmenu to /usr/X11R6/lib/openwin-menu or write your own (or do what I did and steal the one that comes with Slackware! 8-) Further suggestions welcome as I think I've reached the point where further investigation would require knowledge of X programming and a lot of spare time, neither of which I have very much of 8-( > 2.

Most of the binaries on the menu seem to be missing, presumably as Sun has more restrictive licensing terms on them. James Segmentation fault (core dumped): cannot find file '.signature'
