Problem Title:

2.1i/1.5 Design Manager (WS ONLY) - Selecting "Browse" dialog hangs application, Flow Engine hangs upon starting.....



Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:

Either selecting the "Browse" dialog within the New Project
dialog hangs the Design Manager, or running FE causes
the tool to hang.


Solution 1:

This is an issue with the Bristol Tools (used to
port GUI's onto the Workstation Platforms).

Workarounds:
----------------------

1) If the automounter is running for /home (i.e., on Solaris
if there's an auto.home map) and if the map for /home
contains a wild card entry, then this problem can arise.

Check out your auto.home map file. If a "*" appears at the end
of this file, get rid of it. Save, then reattempt the steps
above.

OR

2) Create a dummy "desktop.ini" file in your
home directory	(i.e - home/john/desktop.ini).
Reopen DM and attempt the above steps once
again.
