Well, that is Sun for you... It took Sun a long time, to get off their butt,
and see that openview really sucked too... HP's Vue really sticks also... 
if they would just stick with the core X Window Managers / Motif, then 
life would be so much easyer for me!

Beats me on this one, first thing I do, is stop the vue, and run Motif!  That 
has funny to explain to HP when I has contracting at their site!
