Is there anyone out there using epoch 3.2.104-beta with tvtwm ??

There are two things about this combination that are really annoying.

        (1) When I create a new screen, it is mapped relative to the
            origin on the virtual desktop, not the window I 
            currently have on the desktop.

        (2) When I delete a screen, the cursor is warped to the edge of
            the screen.

I've looked through epoch.el, and I can't find the things that are
causing this behaviour.

Anyone have any ideas ?  Has anyone solved these problems already ??
Could this be solved by upgrading to the latest v3 or v4 ??

Cheers,

Mike

Yes -- this is still present in Epoch4.0beta.  The simple solution is to
change the line in src/screen.c from

   size_hints.flags |= (gmask & (XValue|YValue)) ? USPosition : PPosition;
to
   size_hints.flags |= PPosition;

And set 
	UsePPosition "on"
in your .twmrc file.

This doesn't happen under Epoch4.0beta on an IPX running SunOS 4.1.1 and tvtwm.
