Dear GRASS users.

I have mandriva 2006 linux OS. After installing lesstif-0.95.0.tar.gz (Containing the Xm library) ,
I installed the xganim module of GRASS 6.0 successfully.

However i get the following error at run time:

Warning: XmManager ClassInitialize: XmeTraitSet failed
Error: attempt to add non-widget child "DropSiteManager" to parent "xganim" which supports only widgets

Kindly drop in suggestions to fix this error.

Try using Open Motif instead of LessTif.

Major opcode of failed request: 19 (X_DeleteProperty)

This usually indicates a bug in one of the components of the desktop
environment (window manager, clipboard manager etc), where the program
stores an invalid window ID in property describing a selection or
other shared resource.

Unfortunately, such issues are quite hard to track down; even if you
can identify the malformed property, there isn't any systematic way to
identify which program created the property.

Allright Sir. Since its quite hard to track down this bug, should
i revert back to LessTif if theres a possible way to remove the error
LessTif was giving:

Warning: XmManager ClassInitialize: XmeTraitSet failed
Error: attempt to add non-widget child "DropSiteManager" to parent "xganim" which supports only widgets

or is there no way i can use the xganim module of GRASS on my system.

Thanks and Regards

The LessTif bug is probably harder to work around. AFAICT, the LessTif
issue is due to LessTif itself, whereas the problem which occurs with
OpenMotif is due to another application.

You could try starting a second X server (e.g. Xnest) with a more
conservative window manager (e.g. mwm, twm, fvwm etc) and no
unnecessary applications, and running xganim on that.
