Can't think what I have done. But xterminals logins with CDE take
10-15 minutes and when they arrive dtwm is not running.

The file .dt/errorlog shows a new error message about line 223
in .dt/C/dtwmrc (config error) this line is
    Alt<Key>KP_Insert       window|icon     f.occupy_all
But it does not cause problems on other systems.

Starting openwindows instead of CDE, killing the window manager
and using truss to watch dtwm shows program opening lots of icons
but never appearing on screen.

There are a number of things I've done to this system recently. Added
pcfileviewer, ogl1.1.2, added some places where X looks for application
files but none of these files seem have been opened by dtwm.

It is a 64 solaris7 on an U2.

Are you running dtwm locally on the Xterminal(s), or on the login host?
If the Xterminal is diplaying the dtlogin screen, then it seems that
it must have the appropriate fonts. Can you verify this during Xterminal
boot? We are using NCD and TekTronix, and found it necessary to supply
the dt fonts deliberately in the secure NFS boot paths for each.

Does the problem exist only for yourself, or other users as well? Only
on the Xterminals? Does /var/dt/Xerrors give any useful indications? Any
difference when line 223 of your dtwmrc is commented out?

An aside:
pcfileviewer uses TrueType fonts (*.ttf), so unless you can make those
available to the Xserver on the Xterminal, a different font will be
used. pcfileviewer, when invoked from an Xterminal, will expect the
Xterminal hostname to be able to run the executable, which will fail in
most instances. To circumvent this, edit the dejaVu.dt file as follows,
by commenting the two EXEC_HOST lines:

...
ACTION PCFileViewer
{
        LABEL           PCFileViewer
        ICON            win95
        TYPE            COMMAND
        WINDOW_TYPE     NO_STDIO
        EXEC_STRING     /bin/sh -c '\
                        LD_LIBRARY_PATH=\
                        /opt/SUNWdtpcv/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}; \
                        export LD_LIBRARY_PATH; \
                        PATH=/opt/SUNWdtpcv/lib:${PATH}; \
                        export PATH; \
                        /opt/SUNWdtpcv/bin/dejaVu \
                        "%(File)Arg_1%"'
#       EXEC_HOST       %DisplayHost%
        DESCRIPTION     This action starts the PC File Viewer.

Hopefully you'll find something useful here, although I suspect you're
already aware of most of this.

Still don't know what I did, but a reboot fixed the problem (at least
for a while). Perhaps the problem existed since the install of solaris7
since I forgot to increase pt_cnt in the /etc/systems file. (Running out
of pty's was the reason for the reboot.)

The fonts were configured wrong but these xterminals used a different
machine as their font/boot server. So fixing the fonts didn't change
anything.
