UNIX Desktop Questions & Answers

Hello guys
In our company, we have a serious problem with WRQ Reflection X (Version 10.0.0) and the window settings (window manager) in Reflection.
We are running an airline crew planningsystem on linux, using WRQ Reflection X as X server.

In the window manager in Reflection window settings, the surface window settings are currently managed by MS Windows, the default local window manager is Reflection. We can start our crewplanning system and it runs fine. The problem is, the window of our crew planning system does not have MS Windows look.

To get the MS Windows look, we have to enable Microsoft Windows as the default local window manager. If I change the default local window manager to MS Windows, we can start the crew planning system but no window appears. It looks like the window is blocked. I dont know why.

If we change back to Reflection as the default local window manager, the window appears but we miss again the MS Windows look (e.g. minimize maximize close buttons in the upper right corner).

So I tried now to start the application with default local window manager = Reflection and once the window appeared, I changed the settings fpr default local window manager to MS Windows. The window changed immediately and the window has got the Windows look. The problem is then, I cant click anything in the crew planning system, it looks like the window is "stuck".

How can I change the settings in Reflection so that we get full MS Windows look and the we can still use our crew planning system.

Does anybody know a hack ?

PS: We used Reflection on our UNIX servers too. There we didnt have this problem. The problem exists since we have migrated to Linux...

You cant ( either its windows look either its X look...)
With windows as manager you open a xwindow terminal session with windows managing it as if it were a windows application...
Now Reflection is V14... 10 was buggy and dates from NT4 period...
You should at least be in V12... (Includes SSH...)
If you are running NT4 then you have in Reflection utilities a mutidesktop manager, that will be your solution: Desktop 1 : Windows 2: X
Then you configure:
Window Manager Settings -
* X terminal desktop
Default window manager -
* None
