I'm surprised, since Sun claims that you need at least V1.1.3 to run Swing reliably. > Nate, > > Why do you have so many problems with awt and all of my code works fine? I don't have any problems with AWT other than due to bugs in the AWT. But, I do have all sorts of problems due to bugs in Swing. We use the swing components in a *real* (ie, we get paid for doing this) application that a couple hundred thousand lines of Java, which uses both the AWT and the swingset components extensively. These bugs exist under Solaris and Win32, so it's not a FreeBSD issue. > What version of Motif do you have there???? I have both V1.2 and V2.0 (both from Xinside), but neither of them work reliably if I use them replace the LessTif shlib. The former dies with __Xcatgets or somesuch runtime link errors, and the latter just dies randomly, usually as soon as I try to bring up any graphic component. Nate
