I just installed the X11R4 server from HP/Apollo and recompiled GWM
for R4. One small problem: HP neglected to include the include files
with the server. ("Include the include files"? Sounds korny.)

So, the compile failed with the un-defined symbol: PBaseSize, and
couldn't find the include file shape.h. My solution was to modify
gwm.h to undefine SHAPE and define NOBASEDIMS. Things seem to be
working, but I wanted to ask how dangerous this is.

Any comments?

PS: To HP/Apollo: Why did you release such a limited R4? No clients,
no include files, no documentation, and I can't get the hot switch to
work.
