(Just thought I'd add a comment - if you don't use MGR as your windowing
system, you're giving up too many CPU cycles to have windows! [Of course,
if your personal machine doesn't run a windowing system, this is a moot
point... }-)  ]  I don't hear too much from people using MGR, so it seems
to be not too popular, which is a shame since it is so powerful and yet
so frugal of system resources. [Compare the 40K MGR client library with
the multi-megabytes needed to work with X.... Sure, memory is cheap, but
that's no excuse to waste it...] Ok, 'nuff'o'that, neuf dix.)
