I have fixed/implemented the following things in twm. 1. Window moves and resizes now work VERY good on slower machines such as the Vaxstation II we have here. I poll the pointer position rather than getting motion events. Thanks Carl. 2. Initial window positioning incorrectly used the window size hints rather than the window position hints in determining if the window had a geometry specified. Thanks Dana. 3. Multiple button presses in the root window causes multiple menus to be popped up. Thanks Guido. 4. I now center the font in the title bar even if it is too big to fit. It looks better. 5. I finally handle PropertyNotify events so the title and the icon of the window now change. I had no idea that xmh was doing that all along! 6. I fixed the problem with windows being the wrong size if twm handles the initial position. I did have that working properly at one point, honest. 7. You can no longer "resize" the icon window. If you haven't seen this, select f.resize from a menu and pick an icon to resize. Also, several people have been telling me about the xterm cursor staying dark after a few times moving the mouse into and out of xterm windows. This may be a problem in the toolkit. The problem does not exist in the X11R1 xterm and may be related to the fact that I explicitly set input focus to windows. At one point, Ed Swick was looking into the problem, Ed are you listening? I will post complete sources (not patches) in a week or so. I don't have access to a machine that is anonymous ftp'able, sorry. -- Tom LaStrange Evans & Sutherland Computer Corporation UUCP Address: {ihnp4,seismo}!utah-cs!utah-gr!uplherc!esunix!tlastran Alternate: {ihnp4,decvax}!decwrl!esunix!tlastran

Does the fix for move and resize (item #1), fixes also the window distortion when growing (resize) the window above the title bar? If not, is there anyone who is working on this fix? Thanks
