Description of problem: I have several custom X/Motif display applications which were developed and have been working perfectly under Solaris, IRIX, HP-UX and the Redhat Motif Window Manager. However under Redhats KDE the colormap reverts from a private colormap to system default colormap when accessing any of the applications Menubars. The system is a new Dell 3.0Ghz Pentium with the highest power Quadra Nvidia board one can buy. I have loaded the latest Nvidia driver and relevent Redhat patches. I have read Ids 65310, 65740 and 91217 and avoid the color allocation problem by allocating and installing an application specific colormap. This is valid and well documented in the X/Motif manuals, and this works well under the above OSs / WMs except KDE. The system is set up for 8 bit Pseudo color since the applications required plane separation which 24bit TrueColor does not support. I have tried Nvidias 8 bit overlay with 24 bit normal configuration but the driver still seems not to support it and some documentation suggests the overlay will only be on the first monitor of a multi monitor system (NG). I have also tried both SLS (Single Logical Screen) and Dual Monitor configurations. I have made numerous modifications to application to explicitly install the colormap into every menubar and its children. I have also explicitly advised the Window Manager as to the new colormap, still with no luck. Since the application works fine under Redhats Mwm, the Motif Window Manager, I have to to suspect KDE. Do you have any ideas which might fixed this? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every run. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run program 2.Select any menubar item - colormap reverts to standard 3.Select any area or any other button - colormap reverts to applications map. Actual results: Colormap reverts to KDE standard map when selectin menubar. Expected results: Colormap should remain fixed at installed private map. Additional info:
This bug is reported against old release of Red Hat Linux or Fedora Core that is no longer supported. Chances are that it has been already fixed in newer Fedora Core release. If you still experience the problem with current release of Fedora Core, please update the Version field (you may need to switch Product to Fedora Core first) in the bug report and put it back to NEW state.
Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. If you are still running Red Hat Linux, you are strongly advised to upgrade to a current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable. Some information on which option may be right for you is available at http://www.redhat.com/rhel/migrate/redhatlinux/. Red Hat apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We do want to make sure that no important bugs slip through the cracks. If this issue is still present in a current Fedora Core release, please open a new bug with the relevant information. Closing as CANTFIX.
