On a Sun Solaris 9 system running under CDE or Gnome 2.0, when "make test" is run it hangs indefinitely on the window.test, requiring that it be killed manually. This problem has been confirmed by other users including Larry Virden.

I also see two other failures:

One is the font test which displays a message that this is expected to fail on some UNIX systems. It would be nice if there were a check for the offending font on the system so that this test could be skipped if it were not applicable.

The unixWm.test also fails as follows:
--------------------------------------------------
unixWm.test

==== unixWm-4.3 moving window while withdrawn FAILED ==== Contents of test case:

wm withdraw .t
sleep 200
wm geom .t $geom
update
wm deiconify .t
wm geom .t

---- Result was:
100x150+0+26
---- Result should have been (exact matching):
100x150+0+0
==== unixWm-4.3 FAILED
--------------------------------------------------

This is almost certainly due to the fact that I have a Gnome toolbar running across the top of my screen which causes the offending 26 pixel offset. This test should be modified to check for this condition and adjust accordingly.

My philosophy is that a test suite needs to run 100% clean and report no errors on all target systems if it is to be truly useful. I hope this report helps in meeting that target.
