Problems with DEC-GKS and DEC-WINDOWS workstation


I am writing a program using the DEC-GKS library.
I use the following software versions:

FORTRAN binding: creation date 7-OCT-1991
DEC-GKS: version 4.2-4, creation date 7-OCT-1991.

I want to use the DECWindows workstation (type 211) for output.


On DECstations with the DEC window manager everything works fine.

When I activate the output workstation with GACWK, a window
opens automatically and my picture appears.

But with other window managers (eg. twm or the NCD window manager)
only a icon appears, and I have to open the window manually with the
mouse.

I tried to use the Escape function POP WINDOW, but it only worked
with the original DEC window manager.


What's the matter with the DECWindows workstation? Is there a bug in
DEG-GKS? Or should I use Xlib functions to open the graphics window?


I would like to use GKS, because my programm should work with many
output devices, eg. TEK4014.
We have several X-Window terminals, so the program should work with
other terminals than DECstatations as well.


Thanks in advance
