I know this is likely to generate a LOT of e-mail, but here goes.

I am doing a special full featured article for UNIX World magazine
on the topic of X Window based applications: how is the development
going, where are the applications, if there are problems, what are
they... that sort of thing.

Anyway, what I would like is to receive some response from this news group
about the type of X applications being developed, how real they are or 
are about to be, and a short single paragraph (non-proprietary material
of course) description of the application.  Also, any comments as to your
views on the technical problems in developing applications (short also) 
would be useful.

I do not (read my lips, do not) want to receive any proprietary material
or information that is under non-disclosure -- only general information
that would cause no damage if its contents were to be revealed in public.
If you wish to include more detailed information, that's okay, but anything
I use is likely to be abridged anyway.  Some of you may even be quoted, so
if you wish to, please include any relevant information pertaining to your
background and current work assignment (company, project, etc.)  If you do
NOT wish to be quoted, please indicate this in your response.  I need all
responses in no later than 5/25/90.  I cannot guarantee that I will be able
to return every e-mail response due to time restrictions, but your input is
most valuable.  This article is about YOU, the X Window developers, and your
work.  This is your chance to crow (or bitch) a little about your craft.

I look forward to your responses - remember only e-mail - I don't want to
use up a lot of net bandwidth on just this issue.

Thanks all!

Steve
