- Sounds like it's a window-manager problem then - not entirely
- surprising. Maybe if the ICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCM expands a bit, it'll be
- possible to have the OPEN LOOK toolkits in question work better with
- non-OL window managers, if they're ICCCCCCCCCCCCCM-compliant.

- I think there is a way of getting ".twmrc" to dismiss popups; you might
- check out the "comp.windows.open-look" FAQ - I think you bind something
- to "f.delete" and use that to dismiss the popup. Dunno about the other
- problems you mention, as I don't have enough details....
