There are a couple of applications that were compiled and linked
against DECW V1 but that when they are run under DECW V2 Ft2 don't
get (or process) any events (exposure, mouse, etc).
I have seen this behavior with GnuEmacs (18.54) and PSW's
Mandelbrot package. Re compiling and relinking the Mandelbrot
stuff seems to solve the problem (according to that notesfile, I
think). Relinking Gnuemacs againg V2/Ft2 didn't help any.
I am wondering what changes in DECWindows have been made that
might cause applications to ignore events?
(I realize that neither of the above mentioned applications are
supported by /integrated with DECWindows; they are just examples)

Yeah, this sounds *very* familiar. I entered a note some time back about this
in this notes conference, and I also blathered at length in the GNU notes file.
It turns out that GNU Emacs just would not go with the DECW$XLIBSHR shareable
image that identifies itself as "DECW T2.0-IFT2" image, linked "8-AUG-1989
17:48:05.61" However, it works fine with a more recent DECW$XLIBSHR which
identifies itself as "DECWINDOWS V5.3" linked "29-SEP-1989 20:09:19.91"
Fun, fun! :-)
