I appear to have the same version of lesstif as you have listed below. I
take it you cannot duplicate this problem?

The man has a point: I just tried to duplicate the problem and succeeded
in duplicating the problem :)
Okay, the reason this problem exists is due to the stupid VendorShell
that is used by Xt. LessTif overrides VendorShell with its own and we
had to write a hack to make this work on Cygwin/X.
Unfortunately, Xaw3d also overrides the VendorShell with its own
version. However, it appears that I got a little too busy right around
the time that I was going to release a patched Xaw3d library... I have
the updated version built in my local tree, but I never finished testing
it or releasing it. :) I just tested the fix and it solves your problem.
Thanks for putting up with a forgetful developer... I had this email all
typed up, explaing how there might be a problem since Xaw3d and LessTif
both override the VendorShell. Then I thought that I had better confirm
that Xaw3d had actually been released with that fix; it hadn't, so I had
to rewrite the whole email. :)
Xaw3d-1.5D-5 is coming soon to a mirror near you and will fix your
problem with xfig and mwm.

Yes! Thank you. It's good to know that I'm not the only one with the

Thank you for taking the time to look into this. Your efforts are

Well, there is one more thing you should check:
$ cygcheck -c lesstif
Cygwin Package Information
Package Version Status
lesstif 0.93.91-5 OK
Make sure that you have that same version of lesstif (it includes mwm).

Well, after having obtained the most recent packages:
Cygwin Package Information
Package Version Status
Xaw3d 1.5D-4 OK
xfig 3.2.4-5 OK
XFree86-bin 4.3.0-8 OK
I find I still have the same problem. However, as I said before, it only
happens if I'm running the motif window manager (mwm). It is otherwise
not an issue under twm or if I run startxwin.bat. Thanks for all your help.

Did you, by chance, use the cygwin.mirrors.pair.com mirror? It is way
out of date and lists XFree86-bin-4.3.0-5 as the most recent version.
However, all other mirrors should have XFree86-bin-4.3.0-8. Those
additional releases of XFree86-bin fixed the bugs that you are running into.
Update your installation with Cygwin's setup.exe using a different
mirror (try mirrors.kernel.org), relaunch your apps (including XWin.exe)
and report your results.

xfig works fine, so far, under twm. However, I cannot enter text
manually into text boxes if I'm running mwm. For instance, if I try to
save the file I can't enter text into the output filename box. If
there's a property, like text size, I can change it using the arrows but
I cannot enter it manually. I do not have this problem under twm.
