I find the operation of the new xmh non-optimal.  When I open a new folder or
issue a forward/reply, the new window directly overlays the original window.
I find that I usually have to drag it over to be able to view the original
message while working on the new one.  This brings out a new problem in X in
that the dragging of the window is very rough.  On something like the mail
window, it can take several seconds to react to the moving of the mouse.  This
is very clumsy and I don't see why it was changed to work this way.

Is there any tailoring I can do to change either of these problems?

Thanks.
