I tried the new window manager fvwm and the new xterms rxvt last night.
It DOES have the pretty Motif look.  I also noticed that my rxvt sessions
had echo turned off.  You know

stty -a
.. -echo ...

What I typed didn't show.  I could turn it on with stty echo.

I later was using kermit to play telnet on someone elses machine.  Boom.
rxvt coredumps.  My video card is Tseng 4000.

Anybody else see this?

Boyd

PS.  My scroll bars don't work right on xterm either.  Can anyone say they do?
Yes.  I intend to upgrade to 2.0 when it comes out.

Thanks again.
