Hello,
I'm trying to solve a problem I am experiencing with running
applications from my Sun through an X terminal on my Mac.
I run several applications (such as netscape, mail, StarOffice, text
editor windows, etc.) from my Sun through my OS X machine by using
X11 and I have been experiencing frequent occurrences of these
applications suddenly losing their frames and freezing up on my
screen. This happens to any and all applications running through
X11.
These frozen applications cannot be moved or hidden, and in most
cases cannot even be closed, because the frames have disappeared.
If I'm lucky I can save my work and quit some of these applications
using their menu bars. However, most of the applications I have to
kill their processes from my Sun's command line or just kill the X11
application altogether.
Has anybody had this problem or know how they can help?
If this is occuring due to a period of inactivity, I have a dumb
suggestion you can try (no guarantees).
Just bring up XCLOCK which will require semi-frequent updates to its
display. Maybe this will prevent the "hidden" watchdog timer from
expiring causing the frame loss.
