I've been using WP7 for several months and it runs quite nicely. So far I haven't found anything new with WP8. I'd like to have some of the other apps from the WP Suite, like QuattroPro. I guess that will be late next year, unless they wait for WP2000, the next version. Hopefully Corel will include a database someday as well, to better compete with M$ Office. Strangely enough, the problem I was having: >An unrecoverable X Window server error has occurred. > > Your WordPerfect documents have been backed up in your backup directory. > > X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource > denied) > > Major Opcode of failed request: 28 (X_GrabButton) > Serial number of failed request: 2296 > Current serial number in output stream: 2297 > seems to be related to WindowManager. If I run X as root or another user, or use twm, I don't get this error. Even removing all my X config files from my home directory didn't help. Strange! Does anyone know what might make a call to X_GrabButton? Bob ---- Bob Nielsen Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tucson, AZ AMPRnet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] DM42nh http://www.primenet.com/~nielsen
