4789.0. "DECmcc V1.3 crash when adding X11 backdrop" by CGOOA::DOLMAN (John of all trades - master of none) Wed Mar 31 1993 15:25

I have experienced a problem with X11 bitmaps in DECmcc V1.3. The problem is so
solid that I an suprised that I cannot find a previous entry that describes it.
I have recently upgraded from DECmcc BMS V1.2 to V1.3 and have since not been
able to use an X11 backdrop in any domains that I create. If I create a new
domain of use and existing domain, the problem is the same. When I do the ADD
or MODIFY backdrop command and specify the name of any X11 bitmap file, DECmcc
crashes with the following message: 


X Toolkit Warning: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
%CMA-F-EXCCOP, exception raised; VMS condition code follows
-SYSTEM-F-ROPRAND, reserved operand fault at PC=002602F8, PSL=03C00000
%TRACE-F-TRACEBACK, symbolic stack dump follows

                                                           0007C382  0007C382
                                                           000771DC  000771DC
                                                           0007A878  0007A878
 

I haven't a clue what to do about this, and obviously this is working for many
others who use DECmcc V1.3. Does anyone have a suggestion? I am running VMS
V5.5-2 and DECwindows Motif V1.1.

	John, A few things you can do to help us figure this one out, since we have had no problems with bitmaps. 1. Send me (took::v_gilbert) a copy of your bitmap file as well as your map file if you have a map file (after press File Menu Save Map and stored in your MCC_MAPS directory. 2. I am going to mail you a bitmap file we have tested with successfully and would like you to test with it and tell me your results. Thanks, Verna
4789.2	Any news??	COMBAT::FORSBERG		`Fri Apr 16 1993 08:48`	9
	Do you have any news on this problem? We have the same problem on at least two systems (one of them being a customer system) where we're running V1.3 (SSB). As I can recall this worked in at least one of the field test versions (I'm sorry but I don't remember which one of them). Thanks, Annika

	The problem has been found and will be included in the next release. Verna
4789.4	yes for 1.3.1 and no for 1.3 ??	MLNCSC::LASAGNA	NO!, le scarpe no !!	`Tue May 18 1993 14:00`	12
	Verna, I have experienced the same problem with X11 bitmaps in 1.3 (SSB). I would like to know if there is any workaround/solutions to solve it because i have installed this version to the customer because he specifically asked for this feature. thanks in advance for you attention, Ciao, Andrea Lasagna.
4789.5	Works the old way :-)	WELLIN::MCCALLUM		`Thu May 20 1993 05:39`	21
	Well I had a file that crashed if you added it via the IMPM, but if you added it the old way ( by editing the domain map file and adding the appropriate line ) then it works. You have to create the domain, save the map from the IMPM. exit the IMPM. edit the map file , add a line like background_pixmap sys$login:dup.xbm so the file looks something like version 3 domain .London background_pixmap sys$login:dup.xbm last_x 0.011318 last_y 0.116690 You can then re-enter the IMPM and add members to the domain.
