> [note on pseudoroots]

It's nice to see that people are experimenting with pseudoroots, but the
warning bears repeating.  Please make sure that you don't count on them.  They
have been removed from the ICCCM and the trial support in Xlib and the
xpseudoroot program will go away in R4.  The eventual goal will be to provide a
server extension that will allow normally-coded clients to work properly in
pseudoroots (but this isn't even in the kitchen yet, let alone on the back
burner).
