I'm running Epoch 3.2 with both patches (1 & 2) on a Sun IPC running OW
2.2 and SunOS 4.1.1 (Xnews), and with both patches and the Apollo
patches from pisa.citi.umich.edu on an Apollo running Domain/OS 10.3
(berkeley) (Xapollo).
I'm using twm as my window manager (though olwm and gwm seem to have the
same problem). I'm using the minibuf.el code to make the minibuf attach
it to the active screen, and except for the first time it used, the
minibuffer is always placed at some bizzare (yet constant) offset from
the active screen. I can log out, then log back in and the offset will
be different, but still not correct. The only time it seems to work
properly, is immediately after a reboot and then only for the first
execution of Epoch.
Is this a 'well-known bug' (like the infinite growth of the minibuf
under R4 twm)? If so, how do I fix it? I can't keep rebooting my machine
every morning!
Thanks,
