#			Disappearing Windows Problem
#			----------------------------
#
#X Client: RS6000 AIX 3.1 Update Level 3003 (X11R3)
#X Server: VAXstation 31000 Ultrix 3.1 UWS 2.1 (X11R3)
#
#An X application running on a RS6000 and displaying on a VAXstation
#suddenly looses its window. Sometimes the application terminates with an
#"Broken pipe" error. The problem could be because of the event queue
#getting full on the X server side. There have been times when there is
#no user interaction on the VAXstation and the windows still disappear.
#This situation seems to invalidate the event queue theory. In this case
#could it be a time-out problem? Is there a hand-shake going on between
#the client and the X server, such that if the client does not reply it's
#windows get killed.  If so, how can the time-out period be changed.
#Also, Is there a way to change the event queue length?
#
#Any suggestions on how to debug the problem would be greatly
#appreciated.

If you have XSCOPE available, run it to see what was the last bit of
information that was sent across the wire (either X protocol or X event).
This should help in narrowing down the causes of the problem.  To 
run XSCOPE try the following command:

   % xscope -v4 -hvax-host -d0 -o0 -i1 < /dev/null > xscope.log &
   % client -display localhost:1

By looking at the end of xscope.log you should be able to get a feel of
what could be happening.
