83.0. "DECW won't save my screen background pattern" by REVEL::STOLLER (Where's the squeegy?) Tue Jan 31 1989 16:11

Why won't DECwindows save my screen background pattern?  I use the CUSTOMIZE SAVE blah
menu item (you know, bottom of the list). I use it multiple times outof frustration.
I get out get back in and it is the same background I saved back about 5.0 time frame.
I am running 5.1 now.

Same problem as 81.  See 81.1 for answer.

SET FLAME ON

Now that this conference is fairly small, you could read before you
ask.

    The moderators could also help reduce the "clutter" by moving
    "repeated" questions to their proper locations.  I am aware that
    most of us are very busy doing work, but this could help organize
    this conference so it don't become a dumping ground for superfluous
    questions.

RE: .2

	And then there would be complaints that code isn't coming out of
	the DECwindows group fast enough..

	Moderatorship is no easy task with a conference of this 
	potential size. "Real" work must take priority..

83.4Kudos to DECWINDOWS peopleSAVVY::LUCIAMon Feb 06 1989 16:405
I personally am amazed that anyone from the decw team gets any real work done 
at all.  I last read this conference on Thursday, 2/2 and now there are over
300 notes.
83.5JAMMER::JACKMarty JackTue Feb 07 1989 10:562
    It's easy - only a few people from the DECW team follow this conference.

    Other participants just help out on a communal help basis.

    Since no one else has stated it...  The V5.1 cover letter stated
    the following which will clear up problems like .0 and 81.0
 

          4. Delete All Customization Files

          Some of the applications have made incompatible changes to
          their customization files. To avoid unpredictable behav-
          ior, we strongly recommend that you delete all the old cus-
          tomization files in your login directory (generally of the
          form SYS$LOGIN:DECW$*.DAT) and start afresh.
83.8It also helps to have many moderatorsERIS::CALLASThere is only one 'o' in 'lose.'Tue Mar 07 1989 13:336
    In case you're wondering what it's like to be a moderator of this
    conference, I'm just catching up now. I was doing pretty good 'til I
    went away for a week and got 1000+ notes behind.
