I like #it very much. Strange, I run it on an Apollo 2500 with 8Mb, and I notice no performance difference with twm, while using some xterms too. Is tvtwm really supposed to be using so much more memory than twm? #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. I just noticed the same bug. #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...
