Here's my original post from about a year ago:
------------------ START
Running 2.4.7 on Solaris.
We are trying to run Sun's RAID Manager GUI, rm6. When it runs, it
displays
a box of icons that lets the user launch child GUI processes (similar to
the
CDE App Manager). FvwmIdent shows all the rm6 GUIs to be class
"OpenInterface", resource "openedit".
Some of the child process GUIs have a Toolbar. When you roam the mouse
over
one of the toolbar buttons, a popup tooltip is supposed to appear. What
happens is, you get the tooltip for a few milliseconds, then the child
GUI's
process exits normally (status 0), as if it had received a close request
from the window manager. Truss reveals no obvious "smoking gun".
I tried using the default (built-in) fvwm2 configuration and got the
same
result.
I went back to my regular configuration and tried using the keyboard
mapping
to move the mouse (Alt + arrow keys). I can move the mouse over the
toolbar
buttons, and the process stays up, but then, the tooltip never appears.
The rm6 GUIs work fine under olwm, dtwm and twm. Any suggestions are
very
welcome.
------------------ END
More details: This was on a SunFire running Solaris 2.8's Xsun server
with all of Sun's recommended patches. No other GUIs running.
As I mentioned last week, Sun was contacted about the problem but was
disinclined to open a bug report. They would only agree to open a
"request for enhancement" to be sent to the vendor. We could have
pressed them for a higher priority action, but we subsequently dropped
RM6 and so didn't pursue it.
