You know that PMX is X11R5, while XFree86 is X11R6? This might well make
a difference.

Have you tried to make it a native OS/2 X application running under
XFree86/OS2? XForms exists in its latest version 0.86 for XFree86/OS2,
and the sample apps coming with it work as I would think they should behave.
