  Neither do I, but I don't have a problem with it.  I use tvtwm religiously,
and I load a fullscreen image, and it duplicates throughout the desktop.  So,
When I'm on each screen, it looks perfectly normal.  I admit, if I place
the panner select between an even duplication of screens, I get parts of it,
but that's no worse than loading an image that's a little smaller than your
window in a non-virtual WM.

  As for my argument for tvtwm vs. vtwm, I've found that I like tvtwm alot more,
cause it let's me do more.  Though, I think that tvtwm should incorporate a
panner context, resembling the virtual context in vtwm.  How hard is this?
Tom?  (Sure, push the work on someone else, Chris...  :-)
