5315.0. "GUI ain't got no WIDGET!" by JUNG::GALVIN (Mic, (908) 709-7536) Thu Jul 08 1993 12:42

    
    
    
    		IMPM Question
    
    I'm running POLYCENTER 400 with a 6000 VAXcluster, (VMS 5.5).  The IMPM
    display is setup using a non-DEC PC.  When I startup the IMPM I get the
    following message:
    
    	Software Error Unable to Fetch Widget ! AD from 
    
    		MCC_UIL:MCC_ICONIC_MAP_PM.UID
    
    The resulting effect is that the lock on the IMPM does NOT appear.  I
    can still "unlock map", however, I'm very curious about this strange
    stuff...
    
    The s/w that allows for the DECwindows GUI is Digital's PC DECwindows
    and we've got motif v1.1 on the Server.
    
    When I run eXcursions, although not the preferred method, this problem
    does NOT occur... Any ideas???  Thanks in advance and keep this great
    stuff coming...!

    Sounds like the PC DECwindows X server doesn't support putting the lock
    (which is a button with a pixmap for a label) in the menubar.  You
    might ask the PC DECwindows folks what the deal is.

Very odd... I am running SSB V1.3 DECmcc on a 4000/90 VMS, same thing as
described in .0 has happened, except in my case I am using the
workstation tube itself. I have not changed/upgraded Motif or any other
software... the only thing I was doing was working on new background map
for one of my domains... I 'quit' the IPM and restarted it and got the
'widget' message as outlined in the basenote.

Also, instead of having the default 'dark blue' colors in my icons I have
them as BLACK.

Will restart windows to see if this changes anything...

Well, all I did was competely exit my windows session and log into VMS
again and all is well.
