[comp.windows.x] xmh under x11r4

No, I haven't found a bug. I just don't like the new look and
feel. Just can't get into the accelerator keys. I much prefer
the keyboardless UI in the xmh released with x11r3. 

But I seem to have deleted all of my x11r3 source tree.
(Must have been during a crazed fit of jubilation over the speed
of x11r4 ;-)

If anyone out there could perhaps bundle up (compressed tar file would
be just fine) their clients/xmh directory from x11r3 and drop
it in ~ftp/incoming on bikini.cis.ufl.edu [128.227.224.1] I would
be eternaly grateful.

Before you toss it for the old version, I would recommend looking closely
at the man page.  I, too, badly missed my "inc", "next", and "prev" buttons
until I figured out the resources required to put them back.  I'll append
what I have to this message -- it's very similar to some example stuff that
is distributed with R4.

Now if I could only figure out how to add a "burst" button...
