Re: problems with Forms in X-Geomview

[slevy]

Boy, it's hard to guess.  fl_init() is called automatically by most of the
forms routines, if it hadn't been called before.  You could try inserting
a call to fl_init() in, say, glmain.c in main() after the call to foreground()
but I bet it won't matter.

Another thing to try:  The symptoms you describe suggest FORMS is confused
about the contents of the color map.  You can change the way forms uses colors
by calling fl_set_graphics_mode(<rgb_mode>, <double_buffer>).
The default is probably fl_set_graphics_mode(1, 1)  (i.e. use RGB-mode drawing
for coloring forms, and use double-buffering).  Try inserting a call to
fl_set_graphics_mode(0, 0) in main() after calling foreground() and see if
anything changes.  (Don't call fl_init() after fl_set_graphics_mode() or it'll
erase the settings.)
