I am in need of some help. Right now I am porting elvis (the vi clone) using the NeWS toolkit. I'm pretty much done but I've noticed something annoying. The tNt window does'nt interact with the XView windows very well as far as receiving the input focus. If i move into the tNt window from a Xview window *slowly* it gets the focus, but if i move in quickly it does'nt. i always get the focus if i move in from the framebuffer. does anyone have a fix for this? or should i start debugging it myself? Oh BTW, i am running olwm as the X window manager. I rather us pswm but it seems to haved died a death of neglect. Is there anyplace i can get the pswm sources from ??? Also, does anybody have a neat enahncement ideas for what i should do with my NeWS-ified elvis? right now it's just a basic port. The obvious things that come to mind is having a scroll bar do things like ^D and ^U and hooking up the selection buffer to elvis's yank buffer, etc... Should i just use the xvps lib and have a XView frame around elvis? that would make things like drag and drop easier but i *love* Don Hopkins' tabframe subclass on elvis windows and would personally prefer to leave the frame in the NeWS domain of things.

Think that this is a known bug. I stopped using some NeWS-applications
because of the same problem.

I miss pswm, too. I had an icon-manager a'ta twm for pswm. Pswm is
naturally much slower than olwm and it does not have 3-d look, but I still
miss it.
So, if anyboduy knows how to start the old pswm under OW2.0, please tell us.
