Thanks Dan,

yes, the minimise tool works. The configuration tool gets a proper 
window with title bar and buttons. Save_As dialogue is normal. Just the 
plot window is missing normal title bar.

I will try qt4 later, I have other broken software to chase up first.

At some stage I need to find time to actually USE the machine as well as 
maintain it.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Peter.
