512.0. "'digital' logo didn't go away" by SSDEVO::PFROMER (Ed Pfromer, HSC S/W Development, dtn 522-6331) Thu Mar 30 1989 22:18

I just had a weird situation on my standalone uVAX II.  I logged in and
the 'Digital' logo and login menu did not disappear.  They occluded all other
menus that popped up.  When I quit my session, I got the message

Message number 02DB821C

on my console.  I am running VMS T5.2-41M.

The problem went away immediately after I re-logged in.

    You've got decw$startup being invoked twice during your system 
    startup. The release notes for the 5.2 installation mention that 
    decw$startup is now invoked automatically during system startup, and
    that you should remove any invocation of it from systartup_v5.com

I've seen this on my VS2000 4-plane GPX. It seems to be caused by the "color" map 
being full. I had to restart DECwindows to get okay again.

But then again I'm running the HPWM so I can hardly complain anyhow.
