Re: Text box problems

[Chris Nuernberger <nuernber colorado edu>]

Yes, actually I am just playing around and writing a server application
that forks (actually creates a posix thread in Linux, which is very
close to forking as I understand it) each time a client comes.  It
creates its own virtual 'session', this session is what is spawning the
new top level window; so perhaps that is why I am getting the error.  I
just got the book on Xlib, perhaps it has an explanation for the error
that I can backtrack into the gtk code.  Thanks, Chris
