I have a small problem with fvwm. XDMCP is enable on a linux computer running fvwm windows manager. With Solaris, we start a Xnest connection with a query to the linux computer.
I log and everything is fine except for a particular application. The application "menu's item" are not there. I see the menu scrolling down but the text is not there. Everything else is working, mouse click (left, middle and right button).
There is no problem without Xnest. When I start a "X :1 -query Linux_IP", everything is good.
I'll assume the "X" you're refering to here is Solaris's Xsun.
It's possible the application requires backing store and/or save unders to operate. According to our source at least (and X.Org's), Xnest explicitly disables both on its screens. This would be the reason behind the behaviour you're seeing if it also occurs under `Xsun :1 -bs -su -query <Linux_IP>`. If so, you would then need to hack Xnest (or the application's) source code to change this.
