When using SunOS 4.1.1 and OpenWindows 2.0, we find that the
Save Screen Layout only knows about XView programs.  Looking on the net,
we find a program called xplaces which knows a bit about Xt based
tools but which appears to have some bugs with regards to the geometry
of a window.

Does anyone have a tool which merges the two and produces a correct
list of programs which have windows open?

Also, has anyone figured out a way to merge such a list into one's
current openwin-init file, rather than replacing it?  In our shop,.
folks have windows opening which are short-lived - which go away if
one does not have any thing to look at, etc.  So we do not want to
replace the init - just update it.
