This morning a handful of workstations got upgraded from 6.3 to 6.4 and things seemed to be functional, until we tried to log in to one of our instrument accounts that for various reasons uses olvwm/openwin as the desktop (and no, I don't have the option of changing that at this time). The desktop appears to load correctly, and mouse-focus and clicking appears to work, but the .openwin-menu entries no longer function other than clicking "exit" to log out of the session. I've tried reinstalling xview and xview-client rpms, but that doesn't resolve it. I don't think it's an issue with the user account, as the underlying commands work when I su and execute them in an xterm. I was also able to reproduce the problem on three separate computers.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did try downgrading xorg-x11-server (and all its little friends) to the 6.3 versions, but that did not fix the problem. I've also tried rebuilding the xview set from the src rpm, but I wasn't able to get it to build in the not-too-long while that I spent on it yesterday.
<snip> This bugs me - I still think it's a permissions or configuration issue. It almost seems as though it's not seeing the local .openwin-menu, just some default from somewhere.
