The OLWM seems to place as part of its window decoration an area at the
bottom of each window into which an application can write text.  This is
used, for example, by the XView mailtool and file manager.  However, such
messages are simply lost when running TVTWM, for example, since there is
no window decoration at the bottom of the windows.  Have I missed something
in tvtwm that allows me to see these messages, or is this one of those
features of XView which requires the use of OLWM/
