| I had no trouble compiling the latest version of awm under R4, but found it
| couldn't parse it's defaults correctly because the algorithm changed from
| R3 to R4.  The solution was to grab lib/X/XGetDflt.c from the R3 dist and
| link it with awm.

  Or, you can apply the following patch to the R4 source.  Note that MIT has
specifically decided *NOT* to support this ability in future releases.  This
is just a work around hack.  All applications should be converted to do
something more standard.  Unfortunately for awm that may be fairly difficult.

%%% 
%%% Fix XGetDefault so that XGetDefault(dpy, program, name) works when name
%%% containing a compound string (``foo.bar'', etc.)
