There seems to be a bug with xscreensaver interacting with the new twm.
Menu item: "xscreensaver" !"xscreensaver"
this hung the machine until I remotely killed the xscreensaver process
Also, I could not type into the xzwrite edit window when it appeared.
I tried unsucessfully to reproduce both these problems with the
binaries in /mit/sipb/vaxbin. I did eventually manage to get
xscreensaver to not receive key events in saved mode, but button
events got me out.
In both cases, I suspect the problem may be that the input hint is not
being set appropriately by the application. I'm at a loss right now
to explain why xzwrite works for me and not for you; which twmrc file
did you use?
