PTF 1723 for X 2.1 on AIX - major improvement

I was told by someone on the net last week that there was a new PTF, 1723,
for X on AIX available.  I asked the IBM support people for it, and got it
yesterday.  It is a major improvement, and it brings the 2.1 release from
IBM almost up to MIT V11R3 standards.  In particular, it fixes all of the
problems I have seen with aixterm interacting with window managers other
than aixwm.  The documentation also claims that it brings all of the libs
up to R3 level (Xlib and Xt in the standard distribution, Xaw and Xmu in
the "X Examples" distribution).

There are still a couple of minor problems, but I haven't seen anything
serious yet.  Most irritating is that aixterm *still* doesn't understand
simple R3-style command line arguments; it barfs on "-geom", insisting
on the old "=..." syntax.  All in all, though, it is better than a poke
in the eye with a sharp stick...
