Since I'm building with Athena widgets and Motif dialogs, the Athena text-label widget isn't used. The main offending code is in lwlib-Xaw.c: const widget_creation_entry xaw_creation_table [] = { #ifdef LWLIB_SCROLLBARS_ATHENA {"vertical-scrollbar", xaw_create_vertical_scrollbar }, {"horizontal-scrollbar", xaw_create_horizontal_scrollbar }, #endif #ifdef LWLIB_WIDGETS_ATHENA {"button", xaw_create_button }, { "label", xaw_create_label_field }, #ifndef NEED_MOTIF {"text-field", xaw_create_text_field }, #endif {"progress", xaw_create_progress }, #endif {NULL, NULL} }; NEED_MOTIF is defined because I have Motif dialogs, so the text-field entry here isn't used. However, xm_creation_table doesn't have text-field defined either because I'm not using Motif widgets. Therefore xemacs crashes because there's no text-field widget defined anywhere. (See instantiate_widget_instance.) I'm not sure if this is a configure problem or a source code problem, but, anyway, here is the obvious patch to always include the text-field widget when we are using Athena widgets. This patch fixes my crash. The find dialog box, however, is still too small to hold the entire dialog (as someone else reported). When I resize it, it flickers like crazy for quite a while after I'm done resizing too. This would be very annoying if I actually used the Find dialog box. :-) Ray Changelog: 2001-02-16 Raymond Toy <toy(a)rtp.ericsson.se&gt; * lwlib-Xaw.c: Always include ATHENA_AsciiText_h_ to get the text-field widget.
