[Chimera-users] Chimera on Ubuntu mounted on MAC using VMware Fusion

[Thomas Goddard]

Hi Andy,

   Your flickering display again sounds like a problem with your virtual 
linux machine, specifically its graphics driver, not a problem that can 
be solved within Chimera.

   I wonder if your color dialog not appearing is because it is hidden 
behind another dialog.  When you press the color button Chimera asks to 
raise the color dialog so it is visible, but I saw last week a linux 
system where that did not happen.  That would be a problem with the 
window manager or perhaps the Tk window toolkit.  It correctly raises 
the color dialog on the Mac Aqua version of Chimera.
