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?

(BY the way I haven't tried installing any of the patches,
6 or 7, would that help?)

Thanks in advance.

Sure.  Try running epoch with the -nm option.  This will use local
minibuffers instead of a floating one, and you won't be able to get
into the state you're seeing.
