The windowgram client in /mit/zephyr/*bin (now version 0.4.2) has some
changes:

* The zwgc*minTimeToLive (or MinTimeToLive) resource will dictate
  the minimum amount of time that a windowgram should be on the
  screen.  If button events are received before that time is up, they
  will be ignored.  This value is measured in milliseconds, so
  min-ttls less than a second are possible; if it is not specified, it
  defaults to 0.

* Messages with "@beep" in them will cause the display to beep.  Once.
  No matter how many times "@beep" appears in the message.

* If the control key is down when a button is pressed, all windowgrams
  under the mouse (which have been around long enough) will be
  deleted.

I haven't updated the installed man page yet, but I'll do that later
today.

Please try it out; report problems to bug-zephyr.  If no problems come
up, this will probably be the version in the 7.2 release (modulo
possible changes to a couple of tty mode messages).
