I don't want to give you the impression that I'm ignoring your email,
so I'm writing a quick note to tell you that MultiGiG is taping out an
engineering run with something like 20 different chip designs on it,
with a deadline of next week.  So nothing gets done until next week.
I have a list of about a dozen of my own annoyances with XCircuit that
I also need to attend to.

Thanks for sending along the solution.  Especially since I don't like
modern window managers (they always think they're smarter than I am),
and have never "progressed" beyond twm (as you might expect, I use a
modified version of ctwm which I've hacked on a bit.  Always works
perfectly for me).

                                        Regards,
                                        Tim
