Hi, A customer of mine has a strange problem with icons. He is working with Unix V4.0 and CDE. He starts CDE sessions on Tektronics and NCD X terminals and also on Solaris station configured as X Terminals. Regularly, he sees that the dtterm icon is corrupted on the screen. He can have several dtterm windows with only one or 2 corrupted for example. The customer never sees icons corrupted for other applications. Only the dtterm icon is corrupted randomly. We tried to restart the workspace manager, to use and not use the icon box. The problem is the same. We checked the various icons files size and checksums and they are all OK. We copy the Dtactn icons to the $HOME/.dt/icons directory and rename them to Fpterm. Then we restarted dtwm. Now all the dtterm icons show the running man usually used for actions. And now, the customer sees that this icon got corrupted randomly. I asked the customer to set the dtterm window to another application to see if it gets corrupted also. But I've not the result at this time. It seems that the icon corruption is linked with the dtterm application. Is there any known problem in this area ? Thanks in advance for any input, Regards, Jean-Marc

What kind of system and what graphics card is the corrupted icon being
displayed on? Does the corruption get worse and worse over time?

>>Is there any known problem in this area ? No, this is the first I've ever seen reported. Unless you can come up with a way to reproduce this, I can't think of any further suggestions. | |||||

The fact that only the dtterm icon is corrupted lets me think that maybe the dtterm code does not create its icon pixmap in the same way used for the other dt applications. Can somebody tell me which routine is used by the dtterm to get its icon pixmap. Regards, Jean-Marc | |||||
