GNUStep/ WindowMaker hinders menu pulldown capability

Problem:

     When “ssh –X” to another Workstation running with gnome, GNUstep, and WindowMaker environment, the pull down menus do not get displayed with the NightView program.  If I remove GNUstep/WindowMaker the NightView pulldowns are displayed.  Both workstations are running gnome, GNUstep, and WindowMaker.

 

Environment:  

I have 2 Sun workstations running the LINUX operating system.   One of the stations (nagoya) has a program called NightView (Concurrent debug utility) installed on it.  When I bring NightView up on this station everything works correctly.  When I “ssh –X” from another workstation (asahi) and bring up NightView, the pull down menus do not get displayed when the NightView application is brought up.  I’ve ran “xhost +” on each workstation.  I do get a Warning when I use “ssh”.  It is as follows:

 

OUTPUT FROM ssh –X  COMMAND ON asahi to nagoya:

asahi{staff}44: ssh -X staff@nagoya

Password:

Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.

TOP OF LOGIN DISPLAY =  localhost:10.0
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host

Starting GNUstep services ...

Xlib: connection to "nagoya:0.0" refused by server

On asahi I tried some other X apps after I “ssh –x” to nagoya.  For example,  /usr/X11R6/bin/bitmap,  menu pulldowns displayed.

Listed Below are the outputs for “uname –a” on each station:

 

nagoya:

 

Linux nagoya 2.6.16.27-0.6-SLERT-10-13-trace #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jan 19 20:32:13 EST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

 

asahi:

The gnu versions are as follows:

# The version number of this release.

GNUSTEP_GUI_MAJOR_VERSION=0

GNUSTEP_GUI_MINOR_VERSION=10

GNUSTEP_GUI_SUBMINOR_VERSION=3

# numeric value should match above

VERSION_NUMBER=010.3

The versions of GNUstep you are using are rather outdated. It surely
would be worthwhile to bring them up to date.

What I don't understand is how GNUstep comes into play in your problem.
Is NightView a GNUstep application? If not, than it is rather a
WindowMaker problem, which should be reported on a Window Maker mailing
list.
