  The bug in SCO X-windows is that it is X11R3. Looking at source in
comp.sources.x shows little or no code which will run on it without
major effort, and X11R5 is going to ship very soon. I'm told the ship
date will be announced at the conference in January. We have been asked
to get last minute changes to our contrib stuff in soon.

  If bug fix means update to the current (two year old) standard, I'm
happy. If it means that the obsolete version will work better and that
Athena widgets will be bundled, that's not of particular interest to me.

BTW: for those with small displays and X11R4, the tvtwm window manager
is a nice solution to keeping a reasonable bunch of stuff on the
desktop. It compiled on Dell V.4 with minimal diddling, and about two
hours of hacking the .tvtwmrc file to look the way I want it. I run an
1152x900 virtual root window, for obvious reasons.
