|     If it isn't a bug, how should uwm be getting hints that include
|     PBaseSize?
| 
| uwm should be thrown away.  But failing that, uwm should be calling
| XGetWMSizeHints instead.

  Thanks you, thank you, thank you!  I know that uwm should be thrown
away, but I have to install X.V11R4 for use by more than a hundred
people.  If I don't provide [mostly] working uwm and awm window managers
I'll spend the next six months answering the same questions over and over
and over and over and ...  The fact that uwm doesn't highlight xterm
windows will probably cause everyone to switch to twm.

  By the way, it would have been nice if twm had come with a couple more
functions in order to help people convert from uwm.  Things like
f.pushleft, f.pushright, f.pushup, f.pushdown and f.newiconify (although
I'll bet I just haven't figured out how to implement f.newiconify with
twm.)
