David,
Now why on earth would you want to get rid of the pretty X desktop?
You know you don't have to use TWM, there is BlackBox, KDE,
Afterstep...
Please realize that Harold, Jehan, and the rest of the crew are not
here to take requests at your whim. They do this project without
compensation, so be grateful for what you have. There are two ways
to rectify this:
A)Go buy Hummingbird or
B)Submit patches that impliment this functionality.
Cheers,
Nicholas
