Version 1.6b of gwm is ready and on expo.lcs.mit.edu and avahi.inria.fr
(directory contrib/gwm)
It consists of bug fixes to 1.6a

Here is the CHANGES files:

1.6b            (90/05/28)      bugs

    BUGS CORRECTED:

      - mwm profile: closing a xmh sub window was generating X errors
        (Gilles Muller) + many more bugs corrected in mwm profile

      - Jay Berkenbilt <qjb@ATHENA.MIT.EDU> windows with east gravities were
        bugged (were offset 4*inside_borderwidth to the left)

      - tmiller@suna0.cs.uiuc.edu withdrawing a client having an "user-icon"
        set didn't work (such as a dvroom)

      - cwitty@portia.stanford.edu: reallocating when adding strings could fail
        if new_size was > 2*old_size

      - when match fails, returns () when called with 2args, "" otherwise.
        (code made conformant to the doc)

      - Doug Bogia <bogia@suna0.cs.uiuc.edu> The no-set-focus did not allow
        the autocolormap to work.

      - new global values class-name & client-name for specifying client class
        and client name of placed menus (default: Gwm and menu)

      - John Carr <jfc@ATHENA.MIT.EDU>: make decoration windows have
        background "none" to decrease flashing

    COMPATIBLE ENHANCEMENTS:

      - Rod Whitby <rwhitby@austek.oz.au> added the variable "confine-windows"
        to keep interactive moves and resizes confined to screen boundaries.
        I added confine-windows support to the wool move-opaque code, too.

    STANDARD PROFILE:

      - button 2 in icon of simple-ed-win works now (Andrew Simms
        <ams@acm.Princeton.EDU>)

      - duanev@mcc.com (Duane Voth): dvrooms maintain a GWM_ROOM window
        property on windows to put them back in room managers

      - Rod Whitby <rwhitby@austek.oz.au> xterm-list more defaultable

    CHANGES TO THE DOC:

      - documentation of confine-windows flag and  class-name & client-name
