It would be nice, when xrn can't write out your .newsrc (due to over
quota, expired tickets, etc...), if it could give you an opportunity
to remedy the situation, and then try to save it again. It currently
starts to pop up a window (twm gives me a frame to place), and when I
place the frame, xrn just exits, and I lose my state.
Xrn *does* put up a dialog and ask you if you want to retry if it
can't write your .newsrc. I just verified this under both mwm and
twm. If you can reliably get it to fail to do this, please
demonstrate it to me.
