I tried to use tvtwm a while ago, and it seemed to make my server
allocate about 10 megabytes.  Is it requesting backing store on its
megawindow?  Or is it allocating a pixmap for it?  Why is this
necessary?  Can't it just rely on normal server exposure events when
the user pans through the virtual display?  But when I use tvtwm I
can't do serious debugging anymore because my swap space is drained.
Can someone explain why running this program is so memory intensive?
