I recently upgraded my Mandrake installation from 7.2 to 8.0. Some Motif utilities I wrote
that continue to work fine on Sun UNIX now seem to have the keyboard accelerators broken.
When I type an accelerator key now, I get an error beep on the console, I think because the
keystroke is being directed at a non-editable text widget. Clicking on the menu bar to take the
input focus out of the text widget eliminates the error beep, but the accelerator function
still doesn`t work. I upgraded the Motif to the new OpenMotif
rpms for Mandrake 8.0 that I found on this site, but this changed nothing. Is there some new
window manager behavior in 8.0 that I need to adapt to? I have explicity set XmNinput to True
for the top level widget. Also, using editres now crashes my program, with a memory free()
segmentation fault deep in Motif routines. This also works fine on Sun UNIX. Anybody know
what`s going on?
