I think I already covered this one earlier. Much easier to read here when it is
not wrapped to ~16 columns :)

What I was actually looking for is the branch that the active development is
occuring on. But it seems that CVS is simply being used to archive the
tarballs.

Well, I don't have a lot of details on the XIMProc thing yet. Except for the
fact that it doesn't seem to show up in _any_ of my X headers. Maybe I'm
missing something, but I think I'm up to X11R6 at least.....

These tests are from the LessTif test tree, so they are mostly 1.2 tests, but
2.0 is upwardly compatible with 1.2 right :) I'm not really sure what the issue
is yet, I stopped looking when I noticed the regression that LessTif had taken.

So is that not mirrored to an email list. I think I subscribed to all that were
available. If it is one of those web only type discussion things, sorry I don't
have the time or the patients for most of those. Besides, I'm more interested
in furthering the technology than helping people get an XmLabel on the screen.
