  DECwindows Motif CDE HOME.DIR protections? 
 The Question is:
 
I can use the CDE to set the home session exactly one time. If I attempt to
save it again the desktop blows up.  The directory
[$HOME.dt.sessions.home_old] no longer exists (it was created during the
initial setting of the home session).  The protections
on the directory [$HOME.dt.sessions.home] are S:RWE,O:RWE,G:RE,W:RE.
However, if I set the protections to O:RWED, I can set the home session,
although subsequent attempts to set the home session will blow up if I don't
change the protections first.  I re
alize that the problem has to be some protection or privilege settings but
on which file?  Thanks!
 
 
 The Answer is:
 
  Please acquire and apply the available ECO kit for whatever version
  of DECwindows CDE is in use here, as well as the current ECO kit for
  the Compaq C (DEC C) DECC$SHR run-time library.  (A similar-sounding
  problem -- involving a failure to manipulate HOME.DIR and CURRENT.DIR
  due to a lack of delete access to the directories -- has been resolved
  in ALPMOTF03_U4012 and later, for DECwindows Motif V1.2-4.)  If this
  is not V1.2-4, please contact the Compaq Customer Support Center for
  assistance.
