Glynn,

The CVS entries from the last build I did on the Sun are from May 21,
2001.  

The window manager I am using on the Sun is the dtwm, part of the
Solaris install. I do not know the version number off hand, but it is
the one packaged with Solaris 7, if that helps.

Below is the output from xprops on the monitor ....

WM_STATE(WM_STATE):
                window state: Normal
                icon window: 0x3404224
_DT_WORKSPACE_PRESENCE(_DT_WORKSPACE_PRESENCE) = 0x101
WM_PROTOCOLS(ATOM): protocols  WM_DELETE_WINDOW
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "x0", "GRASS 5.0.0pre1"
WM_HINTS(WM_HINTS):
                bitmap id # to use for icon: 0x6800002
WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):
                program specified size: 450 by 400
WM_CLIENT_MACHINE(STRING) = "tekmap"
WM_COMMAND(STRING) = { "x0" }
WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "GRASS 5.0.0pre1 - Monitor: x0"
WM_NAME(STRING) = "GRASS 5.0.0pre1 - Monitor: x0"
-----------

If there is any other info. I can provide, let me know. Thanks in
advance for your help.
