Hello. You wrote:
the reason that dash crashes when you touch it is because there are 4
images (like...pictures) in the dash.tgz package that don't get
installed into the correct place
they are called {arrow, gray, question, Dash.xbm} and the package tries
to install them in /usr/athena/include/X11/bitmaps/, while the dash
software looks for them in /usr/X11R6/include/X11/bitmaps/
I have created a new "dash.tgz" package which installs and looks for
the bitmaps in /usr/athena/lib/X11/bitmaps. Note that this directory
is different from both of the directories that the old version was
trying to use. However, this is the correct location.
(You have to be running X11R6 (the XFree86 3.x series) to use this
package. The old package was linked with X11R5, that is, the XFree86
2.x series. X11R6 has been out for a very long time, so this should
not be a problem.)
Have a nice day.
-Sal.
