Well, it's Xt so you have all those resources etc.
And looking at Xaw3d and NeXTaw, it's quite wrappable =)

I really hate to see stuff like this go away. I love X, I love
resources, I love rcfiles, I love standard switches (-geometry, -display
etc).. the whiole deal.

I've been playing with Motif and zsh. They are quite light and snappy on
today's machines even if that few megabytes was considered to be "an
absolute pig" (don't remember who said that, STR if you will) in the
past. It's actually pretty sleek on even the SS1+ and that's a stretch
=)

I do miss virtual desktops. It's either a screen full of little windows,
all alike or Windos-like switching.
