Things that don't work in Linux - RedHat 9

[RCS]

Here are a few things that do not work in Linux RedHat 9:

'set the BackDrop to 90,80,144'
This forces the screen to color you want...but in front of everything! In
other words, you can't get to your computer anymore (you can't even alt-tab
out)!

- TrueType fonts

- Xanim (or any video/music playback). Maybe I am not using this correctly?
There do not seem to be any instructions on how to use this...

- You 'always' have a window border no matter what.

- Hiding/showing a window (or simply re-openning) cause the window to move
slightly from it's last position by about 4 pixels (down, and to the
left)...eventually you wind up off the screen!

- Setting the loc of a window from a mouseMove 'loop' cause the window to
shoot off the screen (bad data I suppose). The same code works in Windows
(98-XP) and Mac (OS 8-10).

- Cannot open a datagram socket on a specific port for broadcasting (this
may be related to Linux itself though).


I thought MetaCard was developed in a Linux environment? Is it just RedHat?
