Re: scroll bar resource? (half solved)
Chris,
Thanks, you were right about the Xaw3d package. Once I installed it
several of the slink applications regained the same scroll bar look as
on my hamm disk. Xterm, however, remained the same. Still just a plain
bar with no arrows.
Is xterm in slink different than xterm in hamm? Or did I just stumble
into a non-standard configuration when I first loaded linux back in
October?
And all this time I thought I was using the standard scroll bars. ;-)
