I am in need of some help. Right now I am porting elvis (the vi clone)
using the NeWS toolkit. I'm pretty much done but I've noticed something
annoying. The tNt window does'nt interact with the XView windows very
well as far as receiving the input focus. If i move into the tNt window
from a Xview window *slowly* it gets the focus, but if i move in
quickly it does'nt. i always get the focus if i move in from the
framebuffer.  does anyone have a fix for this? or should i start
debugging it myself?

Oh BTW, i am running olwm as the X window manager. I rather us pswm but
it seems to haved died a death of neglect. Is there anyplace i can get
the pswm sources from ???

Also, does anybody have a neat enahncement ideas for what i should do with my 
NeWS-ified elvis? right now it's just a basic port. The obvious things that
come to mind is having a scroll bar do things like ^D and ^U and hooking
up the selection buffer to elvis's yank buffer, etc... 

Should i just use the xvps lib and have a XView frame around elvis?
that would make things like drag and drop easier but i *love* 
Don Hopkins' tabframe subclass on elvis windows and would personally
prefer to leave the frame in the NeWS domain of things.
