I had similar problems at one site and found that it cleared up when
I made sure that the user environment on AIX was being properly
set (sourcing Tivoli, etc). Different access methods (telnet, rlogin,
rexec) don't always execute the .profile, so check that out.

Subject: Re: [NV-L] Netview OVW disconnects
On a related note, and as long as we have a thread dealing
with emulators:
I'm running eXceed, with few problems except one that's driving
me nuts. (Admitedly, that's a short ride...)
The problem I just haven't been able to fix is when doing a
Locate > Objects > By Attribute..., and selecting something
that requires you to enter information, e.g. IP Hostname, or
IP Address, the dialog box comes up without the text entry
window. There's no place to type the hostname or address...
If you start selecting other attributes, at random, sooner or
later the text entry portion of the window will magically
appear, and you can go back and select the attribute you originally
wanted to select, enter the regex and hit apply. It's frustrating
as all heck, needless to say.
My server is AIX 4.2.1, and I have exceed start a dtterm using
/usr/dt/bin/dtterm -display xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0&. I tried Leslie's
suggestion of playing with mwm, and changing the window manager
from native to X, and the problem actually got worse. I could
not force the text entry portion to magically appear no matter
how hard I pounded on it.
Anybody seen and/or fixed such a problem?
Thanks,
