1. What window managers are available, besides uwm and awm?  I much
prefer awm to uwm; I hate having to bring up a menu to do anything,
but I've seen a lot of references to twm and might want to give it a
shot.

2. When installing awm, reference was made to RTL.  What is it, and
where can I get it?

3. Can anyone explain why xterm would mung-up su and ftp during the
passwording phase?  When I run either under an xterm on one of our
Pyramids they don't give me a chance to type a password in.  (I'm
running X11R3 patchlevel 10)

4. Does anyone have the sources to xps with all the patches installed?
I tried patching it myself, but it rejected a zillion patches and I
don't have time to do it by hand.

5. Is there any better way than running `strings' on the binary to
find out what resources a client supports?

6. The twm.Xdefaults supplied with awm refer to two fonts, vtsingle
and fg-22, that I don't seem to have.  Are they available, and are
they worth getting?

Thanks in advance for all replies.
