Well, I've been running Smalltalk with  co-Xist for a few weeks  
now and haven't been very happy with it.  Window updates are  
slow and inaccurate.  You must constantly refresh windows  
manually.  Mouse clicks are often missed or inserted where you  
didn't make one, and you're never quite sure what shape the  
pointer will be.

I'd look at another package.
Mikael
