ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for DECwindows Motif V1.2-3.  This kit addresses the
following problems:

PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN ALPMOTF08_U3012 KIT:

  Session Manager problems

  o  In customizing the colors in the session manager, if the  color
     model  menu  is torn off, the session manager will crash when a
     model is selected.  This problem is corrected in  the  remedial
     kit.

  FileView problems

  o  Using the Print dialog invoked from FileView to  print  a  file
     prints the wrong set of pages if the "From" field is completed.
     This problem is corrected in the remedial kit.

  Print Screen problems

  o  When DECW$PRINTSCREEN generates a  PostScript  file  it  writes
     introductory  comments to this file.  After the end of 1999 the
     date written to the file will be wrong.  For example, the  year
     2000  would be output as "19100".  This problem is corrected in
     the remedial kit.

  Paint problems

  o  When  DECW$PAINT  generates  a  PostScript   file   it   writes
     introductory  comments to this file.  After the end of 1999 the
     date written to the file will be wrong.  For example, the  year
     2000  would be output as "19100".  This problem is corrected in
     the remedial kit.


  DECwindows Mail problems

  o  When invoking the Extract dialog from a mail message DECwindows
     Mail  can  terminate with an access violation.  This problem is
     corrected in the remedial kit.

  o  Sometimes spurious horizontal lines will be left  in  the  main
     display  for  mail.   This problem is corrected in the remedial
     kit.

  o  The AXPMOTF07_U3012 kit introduced a problem  where  DECwindows
     Mail  can  terminate  abnormally.   This  happens  if  the tree
     display is in use and a message is dragged to  a  folder  which
     was  not  visible  when  the  drag  started.   This  problem is
     corrected in the remedial kit.


  CDA Viewer problems

  o  When converting DTIF files to DDIF and the current year is 2000
     or  later,  the  year  is written incorrectly to the DDIF file:
     the first two digits of the year  are  always  written  as  19.
     This problem is corrected in the remedial kit.


  Notepad problems

  o  When text including  the  last  character  in  the  display  is
     selected and deleted the display sometimes fails to be updated.
     This problem is corrected in the remedial kit.


  Display Postscript problems

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, when viewing PostScript files  with
     the   CDA   Viewer  application  and  displaying  to  an  Alpha
     workstation, 8  bit  ASCII  characters  do  not  appear.   This
     problem is corrected in the remedial kit.

  Xlib problems

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, if a program enters its event  loop
     (e.g.   by  calling  XtAppMainLoop)  without  having  opened  a
     display or specified a timer or event flag for the  program  to
     wait  for  (by  calling XtAppAddTimeout or XtAppAddInput), Xlib
     will terminate the program with the following error message:

        X Toolkit Error: Error in XMultiplexInput

     This  problem  is  corrected  in  the  remedial  kit.   In  the
     situation  where  there  is nothing to wait for, Xlib will wait
     forever instead of terminating with an error status.

     To allow Xlib to process events at a  later  time  applications
     should  provide  some  means  of  regaining control, such as by
     specifying an event flag in a call to XtAppAddInput.


  DXM Library problems

  o  Creating a gray-scale colormix widget causes an  ACCVIO.   This
     problem is corrected in the remedial kit.

  o  Using the help widget, the visit topic option always displays a
     window  with  left  to  right text display.  The text direction
     should be inherited from the  help  widget.   This  problem  is
     corrected in the remedial kit.

  o  With the DXmCSText widget, replacement of  text  can  fail  and
     sound  the  bell instead.  The problem occurs if the text field
     is at the maximum length and some of it has been  selected  for
     replacement.  This problem is corrected in the remedial kit.

  o  If parts of the print widget are suppressed, the display can be
     poorly  formatted  and  unusable.  This problem is corrected in
     the remedial kit.

  o  Using the CtrlosfDown and CtrlosfUp keys to  move  up
     or  down  an  Svn  widget  display  does not leave the location
     correctly defined.  This  can  cause  various  errors  when  an
     operation  is subsequently executed.  This problem is corrected
     in the remedial kit.


  XM Library problems

  o  With a vertical scale widget, the position of the slider can be
     miscalculated  and  displayed  below the end of the scale.  The
     problem occurs only when the label is  long  or  uses  a  large
     font.  This problem is corrected in the remedial kit.

  o  Various problems can be  observed  when  using  drag  and  drop
     between   windows   on  different  screens  of  a  multi-headed
     configuration.  These problems may occur when the  root  window
     or  color  maps  are configured differently on the two screens.
     These problems are corrected in the remedial kit.

  o  Use of pixmaps can result  in  memory  leaks  within  a  client
     application.  This problem is corrected in the remedial kit.

  o  If the orientation  of  a  scrollbar  widget  is  changed,  its
     thickness  is not recalculated.  Since the thickness can depend
     upon  the  orientation,  the  scrollbar  will  be   incorrectly
     displayed.  This problem is corrected in the remedial kit.

  o  When a text widget is destroyed there is a small,  unavoidable,
     memory  leak  in  the  client  application.   This  problem  is
     corrected in the remedial kit.

  o  XmStringGetCurrentCharSet  uses  a  default  locale  found   by
     translating  the  logical  name "XNL$LANG".  Everywhere else in
     DECwindows  Motif  1.2-3  the  default  locale  is   found   by
     translating  the  logical  name  "LANG".  The remedial kit uses
     "LANG" for the default locale.

  o  If a scrolled window is created and the text direction for  the
     window  is changed, then the vertical scrollbar should be moved
     to the other side of the window.  This was not happening.  This
     problem is corrected in the remedial kit.



PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN ALPMOTF07_U3012 KIT:

NOTE:  These problems are corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2-4.

Kit Installation Problems:

  o  The AXPMOTF05_U3012 kit installation procedure always installs the
     following Example and Programming files even if those options were
     not selected during the installation of DECwindows Motif V1.2-3.

          SYS$SYSTEM:DECW$UILMOTIF.EXE
          SYS$SYSTEM:DECW$WML.EXE
          DECW$INCLUDE:XMOSP.H
          DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS:DECW$UIL_OSF_MOTIF_1_1.WML
          DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS:DECW$UIL_OSF_MOTIF_1_1.WMD
          DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS:DECW$UIL_DXM_MOTIF.WML
          DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS:DECW$UIL_DXM_MOTIF.WMD
          SYS$SYSROOT:[DECW$INCLUDE.BITMAPS]HLINES2.XBM
          SYS$SYSROOT:[DECW$INCLUDE.BITMAPS]LEFT_PTR.XBM
          SYS$SYSROOT:[DECW$INCLUDE.BITMAPS]LEFT_PTRMSK.XBM
          SYS$SYSROOT:[DECW$INCLUDE.BITMAPS]LIGHT_GRAY.XBM
          SYS$SYSROOT:[DECW$INCLUDE.BITMAPS]MENU8.XBM
          SYS$SYSROOT:[DECW$INCLUDE.BITMAPS]OPENDOT.XBM

          SYS$SYSROOT:[DECW$INCLUDE.BITMAPS]RIGHT_PTR.XBM
          SYS$SYSROOT:[DECW$INCLUDE.BITMAPS]RIGHT_PTRMSK.XBM
          SYS$SYSROOT:[DECW$INCLUDE.BITMAPS]ROOT_WEAVE.XBM
          SYS$SYSROOT:[DECW$INCLUDE.BITMAPS]SCALES.XBM
          SYS$SYSROOT:[DECW$INCLUDE.BITMAPS]STAR.XBM
          SYS$SYSROOT:[DECW$INCLUDE.BITMAPS]STARMASK.XBM
          SYS$SYSROOT:[DECW$INCLUDE.BITMAPS]STIPPLE.XBM
          SYS$SYSROOT:[DECW$INCLUDE.BITMAPS]TARGET.XBM
          SYS$SYSROOT:[DECW$INCLUDE.BITMAPS]TIE_FIGHTER.XBM
          SYS$SYSROOT:[DECW$INCLUDE.BITMAPS]VLINES2.XBM
          SYS$SYSROOT:[DECW$INCLUDE.BITMAPS]WEIRD_SIZE.XBM
          SYS$SYSROOT:[DECW$INCLUDE.BITMAPS]WIDE_WEAVE.XBM

     This problem is corrected in the ALPMOTF07_U3012 remedial kit.
     However, optional files that were installed by the AXPMOTF05_U3012
     remedial kit are not deleted.

Startup Problems:

  o  In the AXPMOTF05_U3012 remedial kit console broadcasts are not
     disabled or enabled if OPA0: is owned by another process during
     DECwindows startup, regardless of the setting of DECW$CONSOLE_SELECTION.
     This problem did not exist in DECwindows Motif V1.2-3.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, console broadcasts are enabled if
     the system was booted from an alternate console, even if
     DECW$CONSOLE_SELECTION is set to its default value of "ENABLE".

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, the following error message is displayed
     during DECwindows startup if the system was booted from an alternate
     console: 

          %SDA-E-NOTINPHYS, 0000000000000024 : virtual data not in
                            physical memory

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, the startup customizations in
     DECW$PRIVATE_APPS_SETUP.COM are ignored if the logical name
     DECW$IGNORE_WORKSTATION is defined.  DECW$IGNORE_WORKSTATION is a
     system logical name that tells the DECwindows startup procedure not
     to start the X11 display server, but it does not prevent the system
     from being used as an X11 client.

Login Problems:

  o  In the AXPMOTF05_U3012 remedial kit, when the DECwindows Login
     program displays an error message, such as when the user enters an
     invalid password, the error message dialog box briefly flashes at
     the upper left corner (0,0) before being centered on the screen.
     This problem did not occur in DECwindows Motif V1.2-3.

Session Manager / FileView Problems:

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, resource information read from a
     VUE$PROFILE.VUE$DAT file located in VUE$LIBRARY will take precedence
     over information stored in the DECW$USER_DEFAULTS:VUE$PROFILE.VUE$DAT
     file.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, if the user types "MCR VUE$MASTER
     -ICONIC", Fileview will not start as an icon (it ignores the
     -ICONIC).

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, there is a problem with the Fileview Type
     command where the output window may not come up the first time.  To
     make the window appear, the user must go into the Work In Progress
     dialog box and select Show Output.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, modifying a Menu from the Options Menu...
     pulldown in Session Manager or Fileview toggles the default run type
     qualifiers for all applications.  If the applications are defined to
     run as subprocesses they will be changed to run as detached
     processes when the OK button is selected.

  o  In the AXPMOTF05_U3012 remedial kit, when an application uses the
     XmScrolledWindow widget and scroll bars are added automatically they
     appear in the dialog box instead of in the scrolled window.  The
     bottom of the scrolled window does not move together with the bottom
     of the form that it is attached to.  This problem was caused by the
     following resource definition in DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS:
     DECW$SMB_WINDOW.DAT:

          *DXmfitToScreenPolicy: AS_NEEDED

     This resource is not defined in DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, and there
     is no problem with XmScrolledWindow widgets.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, the Session Manager can terminate with an
     ACCVIO after a server error when output is directed to an X server
     that does not support Digital's XSME server extension, such as a PC
     X server.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, under some circumstances the Session
     Manager can terminate with an ACCVIO when the user logs in, due to a
     problem with it setting icon pixmaps for its dialog boxes.

DECterm Problems:

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, if DECterm is set to Printer Controller
     mode pointing to a print queue (or if printing to the same file or
     port), the DECterm controller will crash if two DECterms try to
     print at once.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3 DECterm ignores the first parameter of
     the ReGIS escape sequence, which tells ReGIS to start a new context
     or resume where it left off, and always resumes where it left off. 
     This can cause problems when frequently exiting and entering ReGIS,
     especially if the last ReGIS command was a Text command and ReGIS
     was exited in the middle of the command.  This causes DECterm to
     interpret the new ReGIS commands as text, and to display the
     commands on the screen instead of actually executing them. 

      This problem occurs on all versions of DECwindows Motif on Alpha
      systems. 

Bookreader Problems:

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, Bookreader print removes characters,
     leaves incomplete lines and has problem formatting paragraphs,
     topics and chapters.  Bookreader also prints multiple instances of
     graphics.  Because of the number of problems with print and the
     quality of the output the print function has been rewritten.

DECwindows Mail Problems:

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, when working in the Create window, using
     the Search and Replace menu item to do a Replace All will cause Mail
     to ACCVIO when the OK button is hit.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, if the user has a Read window and a
     Search window for the Read window up and then presses Move in the
     Read window, DECwindows Mail will ACCVIO.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, DECwindows Mail will ACCVIO when the
     user uses MB2 to paste into a Reply (Create) window if the folder
     selection window style is set to paned.

CDA Viewer Problems:

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, when CDA Viewer is run as a detached
     process it doesn't exit when the user ends the session.  Instead it
     goes into a loop writing the following error message to SYS$OUTPUT:

          Error in XMultiplexInput

Notepad Problems:

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, Notepad always updates the revision date
     of a file, even if it was not edited, e.g. if the user immediately
     used the Quit or Exit command.

Xm Library 1.2.3 Problems:

  o  In previous versions of DECwindows Motif, a user could activate an
     option menu using either the mouse or the keyboard "space" bar and
     then to select one of the options by using either the mouse or the
     keyboard.  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, if the option menu is
     activated with the keyboard, the user cannot select an option using
     the mouse.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, applications can crash when managing and
     unmanaging nested dialog shells.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, a Motif application will terminate with
     an access violation if its _MOTIF_DRAG_WINDOW is deleted. In the
     reported case, the login box failed to come up because a server
     problem caused this window to be deleted.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, under various conditions, it is possible
     to get incorrect behavior during Drag and Drop operations on
     multi-headed workstations.  This behavior includes incorrect cursor
     being displayed, popup indicators shown on the wrong screen, locking
     the X server, and corrupted drag cursors.

     It is also possible to get the following error messages:

          X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
            Major opcode of failed request:  72 (X_PutImage)

          X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
            Major opcode of failed request:  62 (X_CopyArea)

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, there is a memory leak when hashing into
     an occupied space.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, the File Selection Box (FileSB) widget
     does not return the correct filename when pathMode is set to
     XmPATH_MODE_RELATIVE and the user enters a directory name without
     pressing the Apply button.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, a Scrolled List widget's width is not
     properly adjusted when it is unmanaged using XtSetArg and
     XtSetValues, and then managing it again.  If two Scrolled Lists are
     created and unmanaged, then resized by calling XtSetArg and one of
     them is managed again, the changed size is not reflected.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, when the XmNforeground resource of either
     the XmText or XmTextField widget is toggled rapidly between two
     colors, a memory leak occurs.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, under certain circumstances, two buttons
     in a Radio Box widget or gadget can be displayed in a depressed
     state at the same time.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, there are two leaks in the List
     widget.  In the first, using CopyItems() twice leaks memory
     because, on the second call, data is really being copied internally.
     In the second, the List widget's destroy method failed to remove the
     XmNDestroyCallback list.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, it is not possible to use the return key
     to open an entry in the SVN widget, such as in Bookreader and in
     DECwindows Mail.  This is inconsistent with previous versions of
     Motif.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, DXmActivateWidget fails on pushbuttons in
     a menu.  The application displays the following error message:

          X Toolkit Error: Couldn't find per display information

     and terminates.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, a busy X server can appear to be hung when
     a user has attempted to post the Motif Window Manager (mwm) menu by 
     double-clicking on the root window while alternately selecting a menu
     item from the Session Manager menu.  The pointer tracks, but
     selections are not activated.  Stopping and re-starting the window
     manager 'frees' the X server. 

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, there is a memory leak in the
     cvtXmStringToText() function in the Xm library.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, the X server leaks memory due to the Xm
     library not freeing pixmaps and because of caching problems in the
     Xm library.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, there was a dramatic performance
     degradation when managing complex widget hierarchies, compared with
     previous versions of Motif.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, pressing TAB in a window with only one
     tab group does not set focus to the "home" widget.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, if an application calls RemoveGrab() to
     remove a widget while another widget is being destroyed,
     RemoveGrab() does not re-add the widget being destroyed onto the
     grab list so that it can later be removed from the grab list
     correctly.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, some created windows are insensitive to
     user input.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, there is a memory leak in XtSetValues()
     for Text widgets.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, on-the-spot input does not operate
     correctly.
 
  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, there is a problem with the Text widget,
     in that its handling of shifting lines up or down causes memory
     corruption.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, the XmTextField widget leaks memory when
     the widget is destroyed.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, an access violation occurs when an
     application program calls XtVaSetVValues() to set the XmNvalue
     resource while text is selected in an XmTextField widget.

DXm Library 1.2.3 Problems:

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, when the help widget is displaying two
     topics of the same length, the first topic comes up in a few
     seconds.  The second topic, however, can take up to two minutes to
     appear.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, the SVN widget leaves behind parts of
     the highlight frame when it scrolls down past the bottom entry in
     a window.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, when directing the SVN widget to other
     than the default screen (that is, if the display is set to screen 0
     with the SET DISPLAY command and the application program's command
     line directs it to display to screen 0), then the program can fail
     with the following error:

          X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
          Major opcode of failed request:  55 (X_CreateGC)

UIL Compiler 1.2.3 Problems:

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, when a UIL file is compiled that sets the
     XmNdefaultButtonType to XmDIALOG_NONE the following error occurs:

          $ UIL/MOTIF test.uil

              XmNdefaultButtonType = XmDIALOG_NONE;
                                   *
          %UIL-E-NEVER_DEF, value XmDIALOG_NONE was never defined

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, when compiling a UIL file containing
     references to a custom widget defined in a WMD file,
     %UIL-E-CREATE_PROC_REQ and %UIL-W-UNSUPPORTED errors are reported
     when an XmWorkingDialog widget is defined in the UIL file.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, when a UIL file tries to include a file
     that is in the default directory, it prints the following error:

          %UIL-F-SRC_OPEN, error opening source file: xxx.uil

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, when running the WML compiler to create 
     a custom WMD file, the following error message may be displayed:

          %UIL-F-BAD_DATABASE, error reading binary database

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, DECW$WML.EXE always reads
     DECW$WML_TOKENS.DAT from SYS$LIBRARY.  In the remedial kit
     DECW$WML.EXE will first look for DECW$WML_TOKENS.DAT in the current
     directory before looking in SYS$LIBRARY.  This allows the use of a
     customized tokens file.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, the f.next_key function, which cycles
     through windows on the screen, does not cycle properly through
     windows whose Input Hint is False.  The Window Manager should skip
     windows that have their Input Hint set to False.

Xm Library 1.1.3 Problems:

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, when doing a cut and paste operation
     using the clipboard, the process can terminate with an access
     violation.

Xt Intrinsics Library R4 Problems:

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, at apparently random times, an application
     program can terminate with an access violation, due to a problem with
     keyboard handling.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, there is sometimes a five second delay in
     creating dialog boxes because the shell widget's geometry manager is
     waiting for an event that is not received.

  o  colorConvertArgs and screenConvertArg have been added as universal
     symbols in DECW$XTLIBSHRR5.EXE in the remedial kit.  These data
     structures are described in Section 9.6.4 of the book X Window
     System Toolkit by Asente and Swick.  However, the declarations of
     these routines in Intrinsic.h has not been enabled for OpenVMS.

     A program that references these data structures will not run
     correctly on DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, unless the remedial kit is
     installed, because the addresses of the data structures within
     DECW$XTLIBSHRR5.EXE have changed.  For this reason, programs wishing
     to use colorConvertArgs or screenConvertArg should either declare
     local copies of these data structures, which are very small and have
     well defined contents, or else find their addresses by calling
     LIB$FIND_IMAGE_SYMBOL.

  o  _XtperDisplayList has been added as a universal symbol in
     DECW$XTLIBSHRR5.EXE in the remedial kit.  The symbol is available
     for use by third party products but is unsupported and the contents
     of this data structure may change in future versions of DECwindows
     Motif.  Because the location of this data structure within
     DECW$XTLIBSHRR5.EXE was different in previous versions of DECwindows
     Motif, it should be accessed by calling LIB$FIND_IMAGE_SYMBOL.

Dwt (XUI) Library Problems:

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, when doing a cut and paste operation in
     DECchart using the clipboard, the session hangs.  The process
     terminates and produces a dump file, but the window continues to
     show the hourglass, waiting for a response.

     When pasting text into a message using the clipboard in DEC
     MailWorks, the client application terminates, taking the user to the
     DCL prompt.  An access violation and stack dump are generated.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, when an item is deleted from a List Box
     with DWT.LIST_BOX_DELETE_POS or DWT.LIST_BOX_DELETE_ITEM, the
     horizontal scrollbar may be reset to the maximum so that the user is
     no longer able to view the entire item.  The problem appears when
     the number of items is less than the maximum number of visible items.

Xlib Problems:

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, X$GET_WINDOW_PROPERTY does not load the
     correct number of bytes into the calling routine's data buffer.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, user defined timeouts are disabled if
     XFlush is called after the user has disabled AST recognition.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, XReconfigureWMWindow does not trap
     BadMatch errors.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, if too many displays are opened
     XOpenDisplay signals a %XLIB-W-MAXOPENDSP error but returns a
     non-zero value.

CDA Library Problems:

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, programs can terminate with an ACCVIO
     when converting graphics files to DDIF format by calling
     CDA$STORE_ITEM.

C++ Compilation Problems:

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, users of C++ will receive an undefined
     symbol on XUNIQUECONTEXT__XV when linking with a module that
     references XUniqueContext.

  o  The Display PostScript header files provided with DECwindows Motif
     V1.2-3 are not C++ compliant.  Software developed with DEC C++
     generates compilation and link errors when linked with the following
     header files in XDPS$INCLUDE:

          DPSCLIENT.H
          DPSCUSTOMOPS.H
          DPSEXCEPT.H
          DPSFRIENDS.H
          DPSOPS.H
          DPSXCLIENT.H
          PSCUSTOMOPS.H
          PSOPS.H
          XDPS.H
          XDPSLIB.H

Internationalization Problems:

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, the DECwindows Login and Pause programs
     terminate with an ACCVIO on OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 systems using the
     Hebrew keyboard. 

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, after changing to a preferred language,
     e.g. German or French, executing the following multiplication in
     Calculator, 2,5 * 2,5, would get 4 as the result.  It should be
     6.25.

  o  Two internationalization fixes were merged into mwm for the remedial
     kit.  The first has to do with activation of the customize and help
     functions by a buttonEvent.  The second was made to prevent Hebrew
     titles from appearing in reverse order.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, a program running in the Hangul locale
     with terminate with an ACCVIO if the user presses the shift and
     compose keys.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, programs running in the Hangul locale
     terminate with an ACCVIO because of a problem with calls to the
     _DXmCSTextScanWord routine.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, programs running in the Thai locale
     terminate with an ACCVIO because the following routines are missing
     from DECW$DXMLIBSHR12.EXE:

          _DWMotifV12Compat
          _DXmCSTextGetSelection
          _DXmCSTextScanCompositeBreak
          _DXmCSTextSourceInsertString
          _DXmCSTextSrcPreeditReplaceStr

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, when tearing off menus, the title of the
     newly created Dialog Box contains the name of option, followed by
     "Tear-off", written in English.

     For localized applications, this produces a mixture of native and
     English text in the Dialog Box title.  For example, after tearing
     off the View menu from the French Calendar, the following Dialog Box
     title is displayed:

          "Visualisation Tear-off"

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, the performance of the string parsing in
     the XmTextInsert function is very poor for the Japanese and Asian
     locales.

Error Reporting Improvements:
 
  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, the error traceback output that
     DECwindows Mail and FileView write to SYS$OUTPUT after an exception
     includes the version number V1.2-941206, which is misleading because
     it implies that the DECwindows Motif version number is V1.2.

     These programs will now write a version number of V1.2-3960215.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, the DECW$LOGIN.LOG file does not include
     the DECwindows version number, the date and time that the log file
     was created, the error status returned from an XOpenDisplay failure,
     or a message stating that the display was successfully opened.  This
     additional information is written to DECW$LOGIN.LOG in the remedial
     kit.  The DECW$LOGIN.LOG file can be created by adding the following
     global symbol definition to SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_APPS_SETUP.COM
     and then restarting DECwindows:

          $ DECW$LOGINLOG == "SYS$MANAGER:DECW$LOGIN.LOG"

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, misleading error messages can be written
     to DECW$LOGIN.LOG after an exception.  For example, after the user
     enters a bad password the following error messages are written to
     SYS$OUTPUT:

        User authorization failure
        error detected: non-translatable VMS error code: 0x186D4, VMS message:

        %RMS-F-SYN, file specification syntax error

     The "file specification syntax error" message has nothing to do with
     the actual problem, which is a user authorization failure.


Problems Addressed in the AXPMOTF06_U3012 Kit:

  o  When running DECwindows Motif V1.2-3 on an OpenVMS Alpha V7.0 system
     and using the DECwindows interface to Notes, Notes fails to open
     remote notes conferences, displaying the following error message: 

          LinkWorks Reported Error: Unknown error

     This problem is triggered by DECthreads support for multithreads. 
     DECwindows Notes makes calls into the DEClinks (previously known as
     LinkWorks) library LWK$DXMSHR.EXE, which is no longer supported as
     of DECwindows Motif V1.2-3. 

     This problem is corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2-4.


Problems Addressed in the AXPMOTF05_U3012 Kit:

NOTE:  These problems are corrected in DECwindows Motif V1.2-4.

Startup Problems:

  o  Whenever DECwindows V1.2-3 is started, it purges SYS$LIBRARY:DECW$*.EXE
     and SYS$SYSTEM:DECW$SETSHODIS.EXE.  This could lead to files being
     lost when DECwindows is started after installing a new version of
     DECwindows Motif in a clustered environment when another node still
     has an earlier version of the files open.  In this scenario it is
     possible for these files to be lost and the disk space not freed.
     To resolve this, the entire cluster must be rebooted then an
     ANALYZE/DISK/REPAIR must be done on the disk containing the lost
     files.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, if WINDOW_SYSTEM is not set to 1,
     DECwindows will not start without a reboot.  This is true even if
     the system does not have a graphics device.  The DECwindows
     startup procedure has been modified so that it sets WINDOW_SYSTEM
     to 1 if it was previously 0 on workstations only, and doesn't
     change the value of WINDOW_SYSTEM on non-workstations.
     DECwindows startup now continues regardless of the value of
     WINDOW_SYSTEM.

     To prevent the DECwindows X11 display server from starting on a
     workstation, either define the logical name DECW$IGNORE_WORKSTATION
     with a value of TRUE or set WINDOW_SYSTEM to 2.

     Note that setting WINDOW_SYSTEM to 2 will start VWS (UIS) on a
     system that has the VAX Workstation Software product installed.
     If VWS is installed on your system and you don't want any
     windowing system to start, you should boot your system with
     WINDOW_SYSTEM set to either 0 or 1 and with STARTUP_P1 set to
     "MIN".  You can then edit your SYS$STARTUP:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM file
     and define the logical name DECW$IGNORE_WORKSTATION with a value
     of TRUE.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, the command procedure DECW$STARTAPPS.COM
     disables broadcasts to the console terminal during system startup
     whether or not the system has a graphics adapter or a alternate
     console.  This kit fixes this problem by only disabling console
     broadcasts on systems that have a graphics adapter and are not
     using an alternate console.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, DECW$STARTAPPS.COM does not install
     the SYS$LIBRARY:DECW$MAILSHR12.EXE shareable library as a known
     image.

  o  When running under OpenVMS Alpha V6.2, DECwindows Motif V1.2-3
     does not allow the user to restart DECwindows unless the logical
     name DECW$IGNORE_SHARED_ADDRESS is defined with a value of "TRUE". 
     This has been changed so that DECwindows can be restarted;
     however, the startup procedure will not install/replace the
     shareable images in this situation. 

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, there is a requirement that the
     SYSGEN parameter GH_RSRVPGCNT be set to a minimum of 512 on
     OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 systems, in order to allow DECwindows images
     to be installed with shared linkage sections.  This unnecessarily
     consumes system resources since not all of the reserved pages are
     actually used. 

     OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 will temporarily increase GH_RSRVPGCNT during
     system startup to allow DECwindows to install images with shared
     linkage sections, and it will lower GH_RSRVPGCNT after startup is
     complete.  Therefore, in the remedial kit the DECwindows Motif
     startup procedure no longer imposes a minimum value for
     GH_RSRVPGCNT.  This frees up physical memory for other uses. 

     When DECwindows Motif V1.2-3 is installed on an OpenVMS Alpha
     V6.2 system it will invoke AUTOGEN to set a minimum value for
     GH_RSRVPGCNT in the file SYS$SYSTEM:CLU$PARAMS.DAT.  To avoid
     excessive use of physical memory, after installing this remedial
     kit on an OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 system you should edit
     SYS$SYSTEM:CLU$PARAMS.DAT and remove all references to
     GH_RSRVPGCNT, and then invoke SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN.COM to reset the
     parameter to its default value. 

     However, if DECwindows is not started during system startup, or
     if it is started initially without using shared linkage sections,
     you won't be able to start DECwindows with shared linkage
     sections (which is the default) later unless you either increase
     GH_RSRVPGCNT to 512 or else reboot the system. 

     Therefore, on an OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 system, if you disable the
     initial startup of DECwindows but plan to start DECwindows some
     time after system startup has completed, either set the minimum
     value of GH_RSRVPGCNT to at least 512 on your system or add the
     following logical name definition to your
     SYS$STARTUP:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM file: 

          $ DEFINE/SYSTEM DECW$IGNORE_SHARED_ADDRESS TRUE

     If this is not done, and DECwindows is started after system
     startup has completed, the following error message will be
     displayed: 

          -INSTALL-E-NOGHRES, insufficient memory in the code or data
                              granularity hint region 

  o  When running on OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 or later, DECwindows Motif
     V1.2-3 installs five shareable image with shared linkage
     sections.  Using shared linkage sections reduces the use of
     physical memory and improves performance. 

     However, the images provided in DECwindows Motif V1.2-3 do not
     take full advantage of the shared linkage section feature.  To
     correct this problem, this remedial kit includes new versions of
     the following shareable images: 

          SYS$SHARE:DECW$XLIBSHR.EXE
          SYS$SHARE:DECW$XTLIBSHRR5.EXE
          SYS$SHARE:DECW$XMLIBSHR12.EXE
          SYS$SHARE:DECW$MRMLIBSHR12.EXE
          SYS$SHARE:DECW$DXMLIBSHR12.EXE

     The remedial kit replaces all five of these images.  Replacing
     some of the images but not others, or installing any other
     DECwindows images with shared linkage enabled, may result in a
     system crash. 

     Note that SYS$SHARE:DECW$TRANSPORT_COMMON.EXE, which ships with
     the X11 display server as part of the OpenVMS Alpha kit, is also
     installed with shared linkage. 

     Refer to the DECwindows Motif V1.2-3 for OpenVMS Release Notes
     for additional information on shared linkage sections. 

  o  Because the images on the remedial kit were linked with version
     T11-11 of the linker, which supports shared linkage sections,
     ANALYZE/IMAGE will issue the following warning message for these
     images on OpenVMS Alpha V1.5: 

          ***   Reserved flag bit 12 is set.

     These warnings may be ignored.

Login Problems:

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, remote logins often fail when the
     server and client are running different versions of OpenVMS, and
     if the DECW$LOGIN.LOG file is enabled the error message
     "[_XDispatchEvent - entered in reply state]" is written to the
     log file.  For example, the remote login will fail if the client
     system is an Alpha system running DECwindows Motif V1.2-3 and
     OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 and the X11 display server is a VAXstation
     running OpenVMS VAX V6.1, but it would succeed if the client
     system were running OpenVMS Alpha V1.5.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, there is a problem with "detached
     login failure" being periodically broadcast to the console after
     an unsuccessful login attempt.  This is because the DECW$LOGINOUT
     process is restarting after it exits, even if the NORESTART flag
     is set in its WSA device, and because WSA devices are not being
     deleted.  This problem is corrected so that DECW$LOGINOUT
     will not restart if the NORESTART flag is set, and it will delete
     WSA devices when they are no longer needed.  To prevent DECW$LOGINOUT
     from deleting its WSA device before exiting, define the logical
     name DECW$LOGIN_PRESERVE_WSA in LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE with a value of
     TRUE.

Session Manager and FileView Problems:

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, the Session Manager will terminate
     with an ACCVIO when the user tries to convert one of the color
     mixer pulldown menus into a tear-off menu in the Window Color
     dialog box.  Because tear-off menus are not supported for option
     menus, with this ECO applied, these menus can no longer be made
     tear-offs.

     Workaround:

     Edit the DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS:VUE$MASTER.DAT file and add the
     following line to the end of the file:

        VUE$MASTER*DXmColorMix*XmRowColumn.tearOffModel: XmTEAR_OFF_DISABLED

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, if the user has insufficient
     privilege to access a directory, FileView gives a directory
     listing of the previous directory.  This can lead to problems if
     the user thinks the listing is for the directory specified in the
     file filter.


  o  When a user logs into DECwindows for the first time after the
     machine has been upgraded from DECwindows XUI to DECwindows Motif
     V1.2-3, the login process hangs and the screen remains gray with
     a watch cursor.  The user's DECW$*.DAT resource files are
     converted from XUI to Motif, so after restarting DECwindows with
     @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP RESTART, the same user can log in
     successfully.

     This problem is corrected so that the initial login after
     upgrading from DECwindows XUI will be successful and it will not
     be necessary to restart DECwindows.

     Workaround:

     Make certain that the file DECW$SM_GENERAL.DAT does not exist in
     the user's SYS$LOGIN: directory.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, on some monitors application windows
     are clipped, i.e. the windows are too large to fit on the screen.
     To fix this problem, the ECO kit defines the following resource
     in DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS:DECW$SMB_WINDOW.DAT, so that it will
     affect all applications:

          *DXmfitToScreenPolicy: AS_NEEDED

     Defining this resource causes the Motif toolkit to put scroll
     bars on any window that will not fit on the screen.

     Workaround:

     Edit DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS:DECW$SMB_WINDOW.DAT and add the
     resource definition.  It's also possible to define the resource
     for a single user, e.g. by editing the user's DECW$XDEFAULTS.DAT
     file.

DECterm Problems:

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, when running on some field test
     versions of OpenVMS, the CREATE/TERMINAL command fails to create
     a DECterm window if a node number is specified instead of a node
     name in the /NODE qualifier to SET DISPLAY, and DECnet is used as
     the transport.  This was most apparent when using eXcursion to
     access a system running DECwindows Motif V1.2-3 on a field test
     version of OpenVMS (e.g., OpenVMS VAX T6.2-FT3).

     Workaround:

     Use the node name and not a node number when creating the
     display.  In the case of eXcursion, it is possible to modify the
     PCX$SERVER.COM file to convert the node number into a node name
     before creating the display.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, if DECterm is set to 8-bit controls
     in the Options->General dialog box, then the SET TERMINAL/INQUIRE
     command fails with a "-SYSTEM-F-BADPARAM" error.  This problem
     only occurs on OpenVMS V6.2 or above due to recent changes in the
     SET TERMINAL/INQUIRE command.

     Workaround:

     To work around this problem, set DECterm to send 7-bit controls
     in the Options->General dialog box.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, when printing multiple jobs in
     succession with printer controller mode, some jobs may not print
     at all.  This problem was very apparent when printing a mail
     message from ALL-IN-1 with multiple attachments.

     Workaround:

     The workaround is to wait until one print job has completed
     before starting the next one, but that is not always possible as
     in the case of ALL-IN-1 printing a mail message with multiple
     attachments.

DECimage Application Services (DAS) Problems:

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, compressed color .DDIF image files
     will not display in the CDA Viewer.

     Workaround:

     Decompress the image first using IMAGE VIEW command (if DAS is
     installed), and view the uncompressed version.  Otherwise, no
     workaround is available to view compressed color .DDIF images
     using the CDA viewer.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, the CDA Viewer leaves four files
     behind if an image is being viewed, in the application's current
     working directory:

          AFTER_SCALE.DDIF
          AFTER_SCALE.DMP
          BEFORE_SCALE.DDIF
          BEFORE_SCALE.DMP

     These files will also be left behind by any image viewing
     application linked to IMG$SHRLIB.EXE or IMG$SHRLIB12.EXE, which
     calls an IDS widget or hardcopy rendition function, if the image
     needs to be scaled.  These files are no longer created after the
     ECO kit has been installed.

     Workaround:

     None.  However, these files may be deleted at any time.

  o  On Alpha systems, when running DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, Paint
     ACCVIOs when the picture size is set to 300 dpi and "Full View"
     is selected from the options menu.  This error occurs when the
     process runs out of memory.  When the remedial kit has been
     installed on the system, a Paint error-handler message box will
     be displayed in this situation. 

Bitmap File Problems:

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, the following bitmap files contain
     null characters at the end of each file.  This results in
     compilation errors when compiling C++ programs.  All the files
     are in SYS$SYSROOT:[DECW$INCLUDE.BITMAPS]:

          HLINES2.XBM              LEFT_PTR.XBM
          LEFT_PTRMSK.XBM          LIGHT_GRAY.XBM
          MENU8.XBM                OPENDOT.XBM
          OPENDOTMASK.XBM          RIGHT_PTR.XBM
          RIGHT_PTRMSK.XBM         ROOT_WEAVE.XBM
          SCALES.XBM               STAR.XBM
          STARMASK.XBM             STIPPLE.XBM
          TARGET.XBM               TIE_FIGHTER.XBM
          VLINES2.XBM              WEIRD_SIZE.XBM
          WIDE_WEAVE.XBM

     Workaround:

     Edit the files and remove the null characters.

Xm Library 1.2.3 Problems:

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, when inserting one character in
     overstrike mode in an XmText or XmTextField widget, two
     characters are replaced.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, when attempting to cascade to the
     right by dragging the mouse through a series of cascade buttons,
     the second cascade button sometimes arms (i.e., becomes
     depressed) without posting the next pulldown menu.  If the
     cascades are posted by a series of MouseButton1 (MB1) clicks they
     are posted correctly.  The menu is also posted correctly if the
     user disarms the cascade by moving the mouse off of the cascade,
     and then drags the mouse back onto the cascade.

     Workaround:

     Use mouse clicks to navigate cascade buttons in place of dragging
     the mouse.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, repeated calls to XmGetPixmap cause a
     BadValue error in XCopyPlane when the pixmap is updated as a
     background XmNlabelPixmap in a widget.

     The error reported is:

          X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out
                                                of range for operation)
            Major opcode of failed request:  63 (X_CopyPlane)
            Value in failed request:  0x200
            Serial number of failed request:  92
            Current serial number in output stream:  93

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, inserting text into an XmText widget
     with XmTextInsert does not correctly update the insert cursor
     position.  The insert cursor position stays at its previous
     location.

     Workaround:

     The XmTextSetInsertPosition routine may be used to manually set
     the insert cursor position.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, when the user holds down mouse button
     one (MB1) and drags the pointer through a menu hierarchy,
     dragging the pointer into a cascade button then causes the
     associated submenu to be pulled down.  If an item is selected in
     that submenu, and the pointer is dragged through the menu
     hierarchy with MB1 held down, the submenu can no longer be pulled
     down when the pointer enters the cascade button.

     Workaround:

     While still holding down MB1, drag the pointer outside the
     "stuck" cascade button and then back inside it.  The submenu
     should then be pulled down.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, horizontal resize of a window forces
     a resize of the height of XmFrame children.  In the following
     example, the widget hierarchy consists of:

                                XmForm
               +-------------------+-------------------+
           XmRowColumn         XmRowColumn         XmRowColumn
               |                   |                   |
          XmPushButton          XmFrame             XmFrame
                                   |                   |
                               XmDrawingArea      XmDrawingArea

     When the mwm resize handle is grabbed and the Form is expanded
     horizontally, then the XmFrame (and hence the XmDrawingArea)
     height decreases unexpectedly.

  o  Several memory leaks in the DECwindows Motif V1.2-3 version of
     the Xm toolkit are fixed.

  o  If an OpenVMS application running under DECwindows Motif V1.2-3
     displays a File Selection Box (FSB) to an X11 display server
     using the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), the List boxes in the
     FSB will display incorrect directory and file names.

  o  There is a performance problem in the XmText widget in DECwindows
     Motif V1.2-3 when displaying multibyte compound strings.  This
     problem also results in mixed single and double byte strings
     being displayed incorrectly.

DXm Library 1.2.3 Problems:

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, a memory leak occurs when issuing the
     following series of routine calls: DXmSvnDisableDisplay followed
     by DXmSvnInvalidateEntry followed by DXmSvnEnableDisplay.

UIL Compiler 1.2.3 Problems:

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, if a UIL file contains a pulldown
     menu that contains nested cascade/pulldown pairs more than three
     levels deep, the UIL compiler sometimes generates a fatal error.
     The error message is:

          %UIL-F-SUBMIT_SPR, internal error - submit software problem report

     Workaround:

     The UIL compiler does not have a problem if the nested
     cascade/pulldown pairs are named.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, the UIL compiler has a problem
     compiling RGB color values.  This problem is corrected so that
     the inline color tables in a UIL file are disallowed and flagged
     with an error message.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, the XmText ScrolledText resource set
     resources are not available in UIL.  The ScrolledText Resource
     set is only valid when an XmText widget is the child of an
     XmScrolledWindow.

     The WML source files (and compiled WMD files) supplied with
     DECwindows Motif V1.2-3 do not contain the resource definitions
     for the XmText ScrolledText Resource Set.  Attempting to use
     these resources (which are valid only when an XmTextwidget is
     created in an XmScrolledWindow) results in the following UIL
     compiler error:

                          XmNscrollHorizontal = false;
                                                     *
          %UIL-W-UNSUPPORTED, the XmNscrollHorizontal argument is not
          supported for the XmText object

     Workaround:

     Edit DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS:DECW$UIL_DXM_MOTIF.WML and
     DECW$UIL_OSF_MOTIF_1_1.WML to add these resources.

Motif Window Manager (mwm) 1.2.3 Problems:

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, the text in an inactive ICON label is
     slightly off center and the text in an active ICON label is
     truncated to the right.  Neither of these problems existed with
     the Window Manager in DECwindows Motif V1.1.

  o  When an application built on DECwindows Motif V1.1 is displayed
     on a system running the DECwindows Motif V1.2-3 window manager
     and creates an XmDIALOG_SYSTEM_MODAL dialog as the first widget
     to be displayed for that application (as as a login dialog box),
     the window manager hangs the system in a System Modal condition
     and will not release the server grab.

     Workarounds:

     There are two workarounds.  The first is to change the modality
     of the dialog box from XmDIALOG_SYSTEM_MODAL to
     XmDIALOG_FULL_APPLICATION_MODAL.  This will provide some amount
     of restriction on the user without hanging the server.

     The second work-around is to build the application under Motif
     V1.2 and display it on a Motif 1.2 system.  If this is done, then
     there is no problem with using XmDIALOG_SYSTEM_MODAL.

Xm Library 1.1.3 Problems:

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, applications linked with the 1.1.3 Xm
     toolkit sometimes terminate when the user performs keyboard
     traversal on pulldown menus.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, in applications linked with the 1.1.3
     toolkit, an XmList widget will flicker when it is updated with
     calls to XmListReplaceItemsPos() in rapid succession.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, in applications linked with the 1.1.3
     toolkit, XmList widgets are not displayed correctly in a Right to
     Left direction.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, in applications linked with the 1.1.3
     toolkit, XmCascadeButton widgets are not displayed correctly on
     multi-head systems.  To correct this problem, a screen field has
     been added to the XmArrowPixmap structure.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, applications linked with the 1.1.3
     toolkit which contain very large compound strings terminate with
     an ACCVIO status because of an array overflow.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, ORACLE[R] applications can terminate
     with an ACCVIO status due to traversal problems.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, applications linked the 1.1.3 can
     terminate with an ACCVIO status due to problems in traversal when
     destroying widget hierarchies.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, a memory leak can occur when using
     the XmTextField widget in an application linked with the 1.1.3
     toolkit.

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, Notepad becomes compute bound after
     the user modifies a file and selects "Save" from the File menu,
     because of a problem in the 1.1.3 XmText widget.

  o  There is an Xm 1.1.3 toolkit access violation problem which was
     introduced in the Motif ECO 07 patch kit to DECwindows Motif V1.1.

DXm Library 1.1.3 Problems:

  o  There is a memory leak in the 1.1.3 DXmSvn widget in DECwindows
     Motif V1.2-3.

  o  There is a problem with 1.1.3 DXmCSText scrolling in DECwindows
     Motif V1.2-3 when Right to Left direction is selected, and a
     segment splits exactly at the end of the line.

  o  There is a problem in DECwindows Motif V1.2-3 where the 1.1.3
     DXmCSText will hang if more than three lines of TAB characters
     are typed.

Xt Intrinsics Library R4 Problems:

  o  There is a problem in the R4 version of XtPhase2Destroy in
     DECwindows Motif V1.2-3 which can cause an ACCVIO when
     XtDestroyWidget() is called to destroy relatively large widget
     hierarchies.

  o  There is a problem in DECwindows Motif V1.2-3 with applications
     that are linked with the Xt R4 Intrinsics Library where
     occasionally passive grabs are not ungrabbed when the widget is
     destroyed.

Xlib Problems:

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, Xlib disables user mode ASTs on Alpha
     systems, even if they were previously enabled. 

  o  In DECwindows Motif V1.2-3, there are a number of Non-C bindings
     (X$ calls) that do not work properly.  Many of them can cause an
     ACCVIO that is not the fault of the application developer.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

If you are installing this kit on OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 or later and did not
disable the use of shared linkage sections before starting DECwindows by
defining the logical name DECW$IGNORE_SHARED_ADDRESS to TRUE, you will
need to reboot the system after installing this kit. 

If you are not rebooting the system, you will need to start the X11
server in order to make use of the fixes within this remedial kit.  This
can be done by issuing the following command after the installation is
complete: 

     @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP RESTART
