We recently grabbed all the parts of X11R2 and put them together on a few
of our machines here. After the usual grunting and groaning we managed to
get it up and running, but it looks less than satisfying. I mean, I've
grown quite accustomed to the way I've got my X10 screen laid out, and want
the same kind of things from my X11 screen. Did I miss something, or are
a lot of the things I've grown to love gone forever? Examples:
1. Am I stuck with the scroll bar on the left?
2. Am I to go on through life without a title bar?
3. Will terminal icons never again be openned with a single click?
4. Will I never again experience the joy of watching output come
out in nil2 on my little active icons?
5. Will I dance in hell forever upon the bones of the unwanted?
(Um, sorry. Excuse that last one.)
Also appreciated are hints on making the transfer easier and less painless.
Any help you have to offer will be greeted warmly.
E-mail responses to me. If there's enough interest, I'll post a summary.
Usual stuff.

(All oppinions and spelling presented here are my own, but the phrase about
dancing "in hell forever..." belongs to Rip T. Skuzzbopper.)lydia@daisy.UUCP (Lydia Yomtovian) (04/05/88)
I am very much interested in reading any of the responses that
you might get, with regard to your "X10 to X11 migration" article.
Thanks
