[In response to complaints about Epoch killing terminal windows...]

   Well, I think I've found it on my system:
   Version of Epoch: "Epoch 4.0 Patchlevel 2"

   Platform and operating system (via uname -a):
   HP-UX bree A.08.07 E 9000/750 2016104081
   X Window System, Version 11 HP-UX 8.07 A.04.00 IF2 $Revision: 2.35
   HP Visual User Environment Version 2.01      A.01.03
   (The documentation says that vue is derived from mwm, version 1.1)

   Compiler:
   HP92453-01 A.08.79 HP C Compiler


   Thus the common denominator may be mwm, not OpenWindows.

   BTW, it takes about 10 to 15 minutes for my pasted from windows to
   die.

[...]

I would like to add to this with a non-bug report:

I *don't* have the disappearing windows problem with a configuration
very similar to Doug's:

uname -a       --> HP-UX dgupta A.08.07 A 9000/720 2007973155
what /usr/bin/X11/X 
     X Window System, Version 11 HP-UX 8.07 A.04.00 IF2 $Revision: 10.7 $
gwm -\?        --> GWM 1.7l  (gwm@mirsa.inria.fr)
what /bin/cc   --> HP92453-01 A.08.71 HP C Compiler
epoch::version --> Epoch 4.2

Apart from the version differences in X and the C compiler, the major
difference is that I use the Generic Window Manager (GWM). Looks like
a mwm<->epoch interaction issue.

Cheers,
Dipankar Gupta
