   Excuse me but a large number of people read these types of articles
   to find out what other problems others have with different 
   implementations of X-windows. They are not taken at face value
   and many post a follow up article. Did you ever call a salesperson
   of some software company and ask them if they have any problems 
   with there software? 

   I think you and Anthony are doing potential customers a favor.
   Keep up the good work.
