I tried to use tvtwm a while ago, and it seemed to make my server allocate about 10 megabytes. Is it requesting backing store on its megawindow? Or is it allocating a pixmap for it? Why is this necessary? Can't it just rely on normal server exposure events when the user pans through the virtual display? But when I use tvtwm I can't do serious debugging anymore because my swap space is drained. Can someone explain why running this program is so memory intensive? -- Joshua Marantz Viewlogic Systems, Inc. josh@viewlogic.com Why not pass the time by playing a little solitaire?

How close is tvtwm to swm. Does it have all the multiple look/feel 3-D glyph support? pat -- Capt Patrick D. Barnes, USAF barnes@cs.nps.navy.mil NPGSCOL/Code CS/Ba (408) 646-2830 Monterey, CA 93943 FAX (408) 646-2814

SWM uses OI to get the 3-D glyphs and multiple look/feel support. In addition, tvtwm doesn't get its configuration from resource files like swm does.

While compiling tvtwm patch level 5, I get an error and abort about free being redeclared in /usr/include/malloc.h. Should I simply remove this definition or might this cause trouble elsewhere? info: SunOS 4.1.1, gcc 1.39.
