*BUT* for reasons that I find unfathomable, I have to have my
xterm open for an hour or so before X applications work.
When I first started a particular terminal session, I got this:
> $ labconsole 043
> xterm -T "S043-1 via telnet bignts17 5010" -e telnet bignts17
5010
> xterm -T "S043-2 via telnet bignts17 5011" -e telnet bignts17
5011
> xterm -T "S043-3 via telnet bignts17 5012" -e telnet bignts17
5012
> X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window
parameter)
> Major opcode of failed request: 55 (X_CreateGC)
> Resource id in failed request: 0x1a6
> Serial number of failed request: 1
> Current serial number in output stream: 3
<<<message repeats several more times>>>
=============An hour later on the same session:> $ labconsole 043
> xterm -T "S043-1 via telnet bignts17 5010" -e telnet bignts17
5010
> xterm -T "S043-2 via telnet bignts17 5011" -e telnet bignts17
5011
> xterm -T "S043-3 via telnet bignts17 5012" -e telnet bignts17
5012
> xterm -T "S043-4 via telnet bignts17 5013" -e telnet bignts17
5013
> xterm -T "S043-5 via telnet bignts17 5014" -e telnet bignts17
5014
> $
OK. Whatever. I'll just have to be patient. Sure seems weird to me.
Thank you. Regards, Bruce
