Having applied 11 patches(1-11) to X11R4, I've found 
certain windows(e.g. dclock which was configured to
be present in all the xrooms.) grew about 20 pixels
each time that I switched xrooms.  I traced the problem 
and found that the problem disappeared when using the
old twm (without patches, both xrooms and twm were
recompiled against with new libraries - i.e. with 11 
patches.)

Does anyone have the same problem? In addition, 
I've found that I have to run both twm and xrooms 
locally in order to get xrooms working properly.(i.e.
if either one running from a remote box, xrooms would not 
bring up the appropriate x-windows based upon .xroomsrc.)

Environment: SunOS4.0.3 on Sun[34] and the original
version of xrooms - any patches out yet?

Btw, has a public-domain binary version of swm been
distributed yet?
