To be fair, that was referring to Widgets, which can now be run in
non-blocking mode (or whatever it's called), so that the command line
works while your snazzy data analysis widget is on screen. It's nice
to have something like Xpalette running on the side while interactively
messing around with loading images.

As for your other comments, it's true that the widget behavior has
changed in several cases, but v4.0.1 was less than perfect under
Win95, and some changes would be welcome. I'll reserve further
comments until I get the "final" v5.0 (any day now?)
