I have been using twm R4alpha++ for a month now and am generally pleased with its featues and its performance. There are, however, two features that I find somewhat annoying. It appears that mouse buttons that have not been assigned a function, beep and cause the "wait" cursor to appear. I would find it more informative to display an "undefined" cursor (perhaps a question mark). Buttons explicitly assigned to "f.nop" do not exhibit this behavior - they quietly do nothing. My second comment concerns iconifying windows that are specified in the IconManagerDontShow section. There does not appear to be any way to get then back! Granted noone should do that - but you know how silly users can be sometimes. ----------------------------------------------------------------- David Berkowitz uunet!ibmsupt!outrigger!david (415) 855-4485 The opinions expressed above are not necessarily those of IBM

My second comment concerns iconifying windows that are specified in
the IconManagerDontShow section.
The windows are still available in the TwmWindows menu. Ideally, twm ought
to figure out whether or not you'll be able to get a window back before
allowing you to iconify it, but I'm not quite sure if that is completely
doable. It could take a stab at it by not allowing a window to be iconified
by unmapping if it isn't to be shown in the icon manager *and* the TwmWindows
menu isn't bound to anything on the screen. But, don't count on it for R4.toml@ninja.Solbourne.COM (Tom LaStrange) (12/11/89)

Selecting the window name will cause the window to be deiconified. -- Tom LaStrange Solbourne Computer Inc. ARPA: toml@Solbourne.COM 1900 Pike Rd. UUCP: ...!{boulder,sun}!stan!toml Longmont, CO 80501
