Patchlevel 6 of tvtwm is now available from export.lcs.mit.edu in
contrib/tvtwm.tar.Z. Nothing real new, mainly fixes for some fairly nasty
bugs that were introduced in the last patch. The most significant new thing
in the tar file is a new utility that we've been shipping with swm. It's
called swmxlate and it converts relative corrdinates to virtual desktop
absolute coordinates. A sample use would be

xterm -geom `swmxlate -geom +100+200`

The xterm would be placed at +100+200 relative to where you are currently
positioned in the virtual desktop.

Here's the blurb from the patch file which has been sent to comp.sources.x:

tvtwm patch 6

This patch fixes the following problems:

1. Fixes "phantom window frame" problems.
2. Bug fixes to window move cleanup.
3. Added gridded movement in panner. Try starting a pan operation and then
hold down the shift key. (Salvador Pinto Abreu s...@fct.unl.pt)
4. Fixes the crash problem when multiple mouse buttons are pressed.
