just wondering...are the "overseers" aware that the netbsd compile of
vtwm.gamma has problems dealing with the -shape option to apps like
clocks and xeyes?

problems meaning that if you consider the region of the window which is 
not supposed to exist when it's shaped (or unshaped...i forget the meaning)
that area still exists, and has the strange property that it is like a 
"world writable" region ....it keeps the image of any window that's dragged
on or over it...and doesn't undraw that image...hard to explain in words
try it...

thanx
