1273.0. "application manager blank with bs & su & open3d4.2" by SCASS1::FIFE (Dean Fife, on site consultant HUGHES Corp.) Wed Apr 09 1997 18:48

    I am having a problem with open3d 4.2 on DU 4.0b. I have a customer
    with a 3000-900 (pe544a) and three pmagd-ba's (Three headed). After
    upgrading (actually a fresh install) to 4.0b and installing 4.2 open3d
    they noticed that save unders and backing store (-su -bu) were disabled
    by default. They deleted the -su and -bs options from the
    /usr/var/X11/Xserver.conf (it now just has -pn -nice -2). Reboot
    the system, login in as a normal user (using dxsession NOT cde). When
    they pull down on the application menu from session manager it is blank.
    
    It is like this for ALL users except root. And AFTER root logs in ONCE
    and logs out, every thing NOW goes back to normal. They can log in as a
    normal user, pull down the application menu and there are applications
    to choose from.
    
    This worked fine under OSF 3.2g and (I'm not sure ov the version) of
    OPEN3D. Their application needs backing store and save unders enabled.
    So after very boot, they must log in as root. This problem affects 40
    workstation users.
    
    A xdpyinfo show save unders & backing store enabled and a sizer -gt
    shows...

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks. I am cross-posting this in the
    Digital_Unix notes file. Also they have C2 security enabled.
    
    Thanks...
