I've started using Tom LaStrange's new tvtwm, and (except for the nasty 
things it does to this poor little sparcstation 1+.... swap, swap, swap...
what I'd give for another 8Mbytes of memory! well not what sun wants,
I need both arms and both legs, thank you, but I digress...) I like
it very much.

However, I've been having some trouble with resizing windows.  When I try 
to resize a window, xterm for example, the window explodes to some `
ridiculous size as soon as I click on the resize box.  For example, if
I were to try to resize this window, it would jump to something like
180x50, most of which is off of the screen.

I only have this problem when I'm away from the upper left hand corner
of the virtual root window.  So what I end up doing to resize is
f.scrollhome, drag the window there, resize it, put it back where
it used to be, pan over there, and go back to work.  Kind of a nuisance.

Has anyone else had this problem.  I'm using the tvtwm posted on 
comp.sources.x with the Official patch applied (why didn't the official
patch take care of the &wName, &iName bug in vdt.c? did I apply it wrong?)
on a sparcstation 1+ with OS 4.1, gcc...
