CDE Menu

[Alex Glennie]

I'm not so confident at the moment ;)

Could you attach/post a copy of your/etc/.../sysdtwmrc file so we could have a look test it ?

What language/locale setting are you using .... C ?

It seems that permissions are not the issue here since root is affected and NFS isn't as both root and local users are OK .... the only thing I can think therefore is incorrect syntax ? anything in $HOME/.dt/error or startlogs which may suggest this ?

Hi Alex,
thanks for boosing my moral. It is very interesting problems. Our senior unix people doesn't know the answer either.

I have copied sys.dtwmrc from working directory. If I copy /etc/../sys.dtwmrc to /usr/../sys.dtwmrc it works fine. So It is not syntax error.

startlog in my home/.dt/

It is same as in other system. We have not install any new patch on it.
echo $LANG = C.iso88591
I don't have any extra lines in /home/.dtprofile.

I'm going to have to go shortly ..... I'm in the UK I'll be back early tomorrow and will endeavour to put my thinking cap on before I go to sleep tonight ;)

However what happens if you use LANG/Locale = C ?

It's a guess .... but as you have gathered this is something weird which I have not seen before / not expected behaviour.

If I get a chance I'll try a test on an 11.00 system tomorrow.

If its urgent I'd suggest logging a Support call with your local HP Support Centre.

Hi Alex,
It is not important at all. No one cares but as you says it is very interesting problem and that is why I am spending my time on it.
I even have reboot the system (no Luck) I did
ls -laurt /usr/dt/config/
looked files are Xconfig, Xaccess dtrc.d

After 5:00 I will reboot another system and compare which files are looked.

Thanks for help. I love this problem.

Could you try this ?

copy /usr/dt/app-defaults/C/Dt to /etc/dt/app-defaults/C.

restart CDE and then test your menu out again ?

The reason : I while back a "feature" of CDE I noticed was that changing CDE resources eg the HP logo etc in the appropriate files under /etc/dt did not take effect but worked under /usr/dt .... to resolve this the above worked. I'm wondering if this could be our cause ?

I'll get round to testing in the UKRC later ....
