Yes it has.

Bad news :-(
It don't think ProE is using GTK, too. If it were so, I would be very 
surprised. It tries imitate Windows-look&feel on every platform, as seen with 
StarOffice for example.

Considering your explanation, I wonder why I have this problem only on HP UX. 
This system has proven for me to be most fault tolerant with writing to 
illegal addresses etc.


Thanks a lot.
