   Hi,

   I just built Epoch4.0 for an SGI running 3.3.  It works fine
   to the main console, but when I try to run it via X windows
   to my pc which is acting as an X server, the minibuffer 
   window and the main window flash back and forth ... one minute
   the minibuffer window is on top, and the next the main is on
   top ... there is absolutely no control and it is unusable.

   Have you any suggestions?

I once had behaviour something like this simply running on a Sun,
although I don't remember the exact details.  However, if I
set "auto-raise-screen" to t and put the mouse into the
area where a screen overlaps the minibuffer, I
can generate behaviour much like you are describing.  
Taking the mouse out of the overlap region eventually quietens things down,
although it takes a while (several seconds), presumably while epoch
chews through a backlog of "entry" events.

Could it be that the initial window configuration that
you get (perhaps because of the smaller screen of the PC) is causing
you the problem?

Robert.
