- Nobody asked me, but IMHO the best setup of all is openwindows from the
- CD, with X11R5 Xsun and a load of PCF fonts, and olvwm. It works even better
- if you perform the convertfont op on the olcursor font (the result is
- slightly different than what MIT ships as it includes the DND cursors).
-
- At work I have used this setup on an IPX. The result is a religious
- experience. My usual machine, an ELC, is only slightly less awesome
- due to the lack of color.
-
- Just one thing: is it just me or is there a bug when using xv 2.21a
- with Xsun -wm? Often when changing images there will be an incorrect
- chunk inside the xv display window. I am inclined to believe the bug
- is actually in Xsun, but I'm probably wrong. :-)
