Hi Performers,

One of our development team has an application that is developed based
on /usr/share/Performer/src/pguide/libpf/C/motif.c. The Performer image
is executed on the RE2 ("rlogin" from an Indigo to the RE2) and forks
off a Motif GUI process. The Motif GUI window is displayed on the Indigo
and the Performer scene is displayed on the RE2.

The problem we encountered was that both the Motif window and the scene
were displayed momentarily then aborted with the following error message
on the Indigo:

PF Warning/Internal: Attempt to apply unknown pfUpdatable update 0 to
object of type pfPipe whose id is 0.
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GetWindowAttributes)
Resource id in failed request: 0x5c00005
Serial number of failed request: 33
Current serial number in output stream: 34

In this version, we specified display name via pfPipeWSConnectionName
(pipe0, display) and pfPWinWSConnectionName (pwin, display).

Note that we will eventually use an X-terminal to replace the Indigo for
the GUI window.

Any comments and suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Hadi
