Installation issue
Popup widgets behind the forms
If the popup widgets are showed behind the forms, try to start the MSEgui program with the option '--TOPLEVELRAISE'. Do *not* use this option if is not necessary (KDE Gnome... work well without).
Blinking taskbar widgets in IceWM
Newer revisions of IceWM let the taskbar icons of MSEgui applications blink. Start the MSEgui application with the option '--TOPLEVELRAISE'.
Invalid inputmanager for Ubuntu
The utf-8 setup in Ubuntu seems to be incomplete. If you get the exception "egui : Invalid inputmanager tinternalapplication ." at program start, try to replace your language locale in /usr/share/X11/locale/locale.dir by en_US as a workaround.
Example for ru_RU.UTF-8:
replace
ru_RU.UTF-8/XLC_LOCALE ru_RU.UTF-8
with
en_US.UTF-8/XLC_LOCALE ru_RU.UTF-8
