See "Premature close of OpenInterface GUI" thread, November-December
2002. Bottom line: It's an RM6 problem. RM6 is an OpenInterface-based
GUI, with some very unconventional windowing behavior. For example, if
no window manager is running, the RM6 windows will unilaterally decorate
themselves using pseudo-MWM-style decorations (rather arrogant behavior,
to my way of thinking). The problem has been reported to Sun, but they
were disinclined to open a bug report - since RM6 works fine under dtwm,
olwm and twm, they would only sign up for opening a "request for
enhancement". We didn't pursue it here, so chances are good it's still
broken.
