The "OK", "Filter" +and "Cancel" buttons do not respond to mouse clicks. Dragging the +file dialog window usually causes the buttons to work again. + +The solution is to use LessTi instead. LessTif is a free replacement +for Motif. See the file INSTALL for information on how to do this. + +Another workaround is not to use the mouse to trigger file prompts, +but to use the keyboard. This way, you will be prompted for a file in +the minibuffer instead of a graphical file dialog. + * Emacs reports a BadAtom error (from X) running on Solaris 7 or 8. This happens when Emacs was built on some other version of Solaris.
