Thanks, Jim. I wrote you about this. I may have to re-compile or get newer
sources. About the 3 DM windows, you should edit your system's twmrc or
your own and add the following. If you do this you should not have to modify
the DM sizes of those windows. You need, of course, PSK5 for SR10.2 to do this
(10.3 has all the X fixes) so that X knows the names and icons of DM pads.

# Do not draw borders around clients. Use their border specs instead.

I checked the user's setting. Looked OK. As I said, I am a mwm person :-)
