RE: can't see breakpoint and arrow pixmaps

 I have various problems with Exceed and several applications,not only DDD but also, eg, Abaqus6.5.2, using Cygwin/x these problems go away. So yes, it seems to me that this could be the origin of your problem. In ddd, using Exceed it seems impossible to get a readable font for *some* of my users, so I assume it is dependent upon some of the  options and possibley some Windows options as well. 

My solution is not to use Exceed any more.

	Hi,
	
	This problem comes up once a year or so -- seldom enough to make it
	impossible to track down, except on the reporter's machine.  I always
	test on a SPARC/Solaris machine before every release, and I've never
	seen it.  (My Sun's running Solaris-2.9.)
	
	So I'm afraid I can't help -- the only things I can think of are:
	- that your framebuffer is running out of colours, or
	- that there's a bug in the X libraries (Do you have the most
	  recent of Sun's patch bundles?)
	
	Does "make check" work fine, and if "make install" shows the problem, then
	it is likely that an environment variable isn't set correctly.  But I've
	never seen problems of this nature.
	
	Sorry, but that's all I can suggest...
	Andrew

I have just recently noticed somthing that might isolate the problem.
Since I have a PC at my desk, I usually use either Exceed or VNC
to setup my x-windows session.

If I use Exceed to set up a x sesion on the sun server, I continue to 
have the problem. 

However, hosting a VNC session on a Linux box and using a 
terminal to telnet into the Sun server and run ddd, the problem 
does not happen.

Maybe it is just a problem with using Exceed as my x-server?
Any thoughts?
