That makes it so when you Even if there might be reasons for that, ctwm is the only WM doing it this way. In KDE, Gnome, Xcfe, mwm, fvwm2, blackbox and fluxbox, xwit shows all clients (especially xterms) correctly. I don't think it's a good idea to insist on doing sth. different than any other window manager, especially if it makes X11 tools fail only in ctwm. Is this a single patch than I can remove? We can't go without xwit on out chair, there are too many scripts relying on it. cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.
