But... at about the same time 7.0 with the X11R3 style server (does
this (I mean the server, not the MOTIF stuff) affect much else than
font naming?) comes from HP, MIT will release X11R4, containing among
other goodies a non-rectangular window extension...  I will probably
run the MIT server, and a mixture of MIT and HP clients.  I haven't
seen mwm, so I can't say whether I will use it or continue using twm.
(I have an old version of hpwm, which is clearly inferior to twm.)
