Has anyone patched the bug in twm R4 that has it ignore PSize requests?
The problem causes xloadimage to open a window the size of the image
(even if that's greater than the screen size), instead of the ~90% of
the screen size that is nicer to deal with.

I've traced the problem to "mit/clients/twm/resize.c", but lack the
Xpertise to go farther without help.
