So, I can drag a file from xfm into Nedit or Xemacs
and they'll open it? What if I drag a file from TkDesk
and put it in Applixware Spreadsheet? Will the applications
figure it out what to do? I seriously doubt... I think
that's the main drawback of X Window System: lack of 
standards.

I also notice that motif based apps take longer to
execute and appear on the screen than the rest. Why?
