[tbox-l] Running CATIA V4 under KDE or GNOME desktop on AIX 5.1

[Yuriy D. <yd...@vi...>]

Hello,
I have a problem running CATIA V4 either under KDE
or GNOME desktop environment. In 24 bpp (bits-per-pixel)
mode of X server I could not see anything in CATIA V4
drawing area (other parts of CATIA V4 Motif user interface
like pulldown menus and function palette work fine) - it is
completely black. If I run X server in 8 bpp mode, all colors
in CATIA V4 are completely off: e.g. instead of black background
in drawing area I see yellow etc. Note that I do not have any
problems with CATIA V4 colors under CDE desktop environment
(both in 8 bpp and 24 bpp modes). Could somebody provide
any insights why CATIA V4 has no problems under CDE and could
not display correct colors under KDE/GNOME? I would appreciate
any insights on this problem. 

Some relevant info about my system (as provided by /usr/sbin/prtconf)
