   I ran into some prob. when running motif1.1.3 on FreeX86:
	   -WHen I start an xterm on my pop-up root menu, nothing happen.
	   Then, I clicked the mouse button and try bring up the root menu
	   again, the pop-up root menu won't come up.

	   -After I killed the xterm by clicking the upper left corner, all
	   text within the windows are gone, but the window stays. No matter what
	   I did, it won't go away.

   My question: Is Motif1.1.3 works with FreeX86? since FreeX is based on X11R5.

   Kwan

Are you running Motif on 386BSD? I assume you've done the port yourself.
People have had success using Motif with XFree86 on SVR4. I haven't
tried it on SVR3 (lacking the libraries). I would be strongly suspect of
a port of Motif to 386BSD considering the problems one finds when
porting it to SunOS.
