Yeah, what's up guys?  I've seen the same thing on a 300 version of 8.0
as well as 8.01 on a cobra.  Stty inheritance seems to be ok _if_ you're
running Vue, but falls apart when you startup plain ol' X.  I hope this isn't
some kind of subtle hint :-) , especially, since vue seems to have a few
dandy "features" of it's own:

    * Randomly, under 8.0, logging out can case vue to wipe $HOME/.vue clean.
      This effectively wipes out your defaults, home session, etc.  Very nice.

    * When you save a home session, vue mis-writes certain parts of the file
      ".../home/vue.resources"  Here's an example line:

      > Vuewm*interactivePlacement:   True Vuewm*matteWidth:  10

      Of course, this results in both resources remaining unset.

Hopefully, we can chalk this up to pre-release versionitis? Please??
