As many of you have noted and recently stated, twm ignores an
applications "hints".  For a long time I could not make a choice
between twm and awm.  It was a matter of which "bugs" I wanted to
live with.  They are both good window managers (no flames please)
but need a little cleanup.  I decided to work with twm because I likeed
the look and feel of it.  It was also much less code to understand than
awm.

I have been working on twm for some time now and have fixed many of the
bugs that have been mentioned.  In a few weeks I will make paatch files
available to the net.  I have been trying to contack Tom L. to find out
if he wants to merge my changes into twm.  Maybe we should call
the new one "tee-square"wm "t2wm". ;-)
