I just got Motif and would like to use the window manager (mwm).  It runs
OK (hopfully the PSK5 will make the performance better) and actually gets
along quite well with the DM.  I have a couple of small problems which
maybe someone else has been through:
  
  1) Is there any way to get DM to not put the borders on the top of each
     pad (eg: pad0002, file names, "I", "S", etc.)?  It would be nice to
     give the window title to mwm and have mwm put in its title bar.  Right
     now I get a window title of "***" in each DM-owned window.

  2) Is there any way of telling mwm to NOT put borders around (and NOT
     manage) the three DM windows at the bottom of the display?  I know
     you can turn these off with dmio -off, but they are slow to come up
     when you need them.

If there is anyone out there who uses mwm and DM together and has any ideas
on these items, I would be interested sharing info.
