Yeah, Terry's in cloud cuckoo land. (But then, so is X given this whole
silly distinction that only makes sense to X hackers.)

Exceed is supposed to be good (and also runs sans the root window, which is
much nicer to work with). Also, you may want to check out the new XFree86
running under Windows... I've been wanting to test it for a while now, just
haven't had the change.

Hurrah for XFree86 hackers!
