Thanks for the advice, but I don't think this solves the problem for
the original poster.  It definitely doesn't solve it for me.  It does
make it so that you can read the menu items (hmmm, a major win!), but
it does nothing about the hung windows situation.

The windows can be opened up, but they just sit there.  If you do a
"ps" you will only see defunct processes where you expect to see
shells or whatever for the windows.  It is not a case of just not
being able to see the text.  You can see the text cursor, but it never
leaves the top left corner of each window.

This is on a diskless color SUN 3/60 running SunOS 4.0.  Anybody have
a cure?
