There appear to be some problems using xtexcad-2.1 with the Open-Look Window Manager (olwm/olvwm). Symptoms include not being able to draw lines and not being able to position text anywhere on the screen. Kinda serious stuff, really. If you are having any or all of these problems, then add the following line into your ~/.Xdefaults file: OpenWindows.SetInput: followmouse Alternatively, you can use the 'Properties' tool ('Miscellaneous' section) to change 'Set Input Area:' to 'Move Pointer'. This should fix the problem. Hopefully, there will be proper fix in the next version of xtexcad. Nick -- nick@symphony.mp.ucc.ie nick@curia.ucc.ie
