    -	why no-one bothered to test this stuff on the Sun
	    we lent you?

I can't speak for "the toolkit implementors", but certainly at MIT we've
been running toolkit clients on a Sun, an HP, and an Apollo, as well as
on a Vax.  We didn't hit the bug you found, obviously.  Sorry.

    I am sending this to "xpert" in the hope that it will raise
    the embarassement level to the point where some action will
    be taken on this.

Unfortunately, I suspect messages like this end up impugning a lot of
people who don't deserve it.  You presumably know who "the toolkit
implementors" are, and they presumably know who they are, but the rest
of the world probably just lumps all of the X developers together.
