I just started using it, and I wonder if anybody else is, and if so,
have they fixed any of the very irritating bugs in it?

Some that come to my mind:

* White/Black is swapped hardcoded - you have to run it with
(TV:WHITE-ON-BLACK), which is the default off-the-shelf setting, but not
the one we use here.  We have to press <Term>-C essentially every time
we press <System>-X.

* Windows don't seem to cover each other completely.  I have an Emacs
window covering the left side of an Xterm window, and the text covered
is "printed through" to the Emacs window as the xterm scrolls up.

* Pressing Clear-Screen doesn't do an XRefresh (or whatever it's
called), but clears the X screen.

* Sometimes the server seems to hang ("Request or Event").  Switching
(Explorer) windows seems to be a work-around.

I'd also like the X screen to cover the mouse documentation window, to
make the screen a little bit larger (17" isn't that much to start with).
At least it should clear the doc in it (right now it says "R2: Bring up
the System Menu", which is clearly not the case).

But I'm glad it exists at all!
