Bearing this in mind, I would like to modify twm such that instead
of "translating" the client window, it merely decorates the client window
where it stands. I could delve into the source code myself (add_window.c
from the distribution is my best guess), but I thought I'd ask if anyone
has already done this and/or if anyone might already have the code to do
this. Please post any replies, since I have received several messages con-
cerning this problem; there appears to be sufficient interest.
Thanks,
Mike
