8/2     When I use X from window (Exceed) and mac (DarwinX) and try to
        move or resize window, the window frame does not appear, so I
        don't have a visual feel where I am moving or resizing to.  Any
        cure?
        \_ Your background might be the same color as the resize lines;
           try 'xsetroot -solid darkgreen' (for example) and see if that
           works.  I don't have this problem with DarwinX on OSX.  -meyers
           \_ No such problem with Exceed on NT or W2k either. --- yuen
           \_ In DarwinX I am using Xrootless so xsetroot does not help.
              At work I am using win95 and I will go back to check if it
              helps on Monday.  I doubt it will, because the root window
              has the same color for exceed as on the sun host console,
              but I don't have this problem when I log on the console.
        \_ Get a real computer.
                \_ Provide some real feedback.

        \_ If you want resize frames, you will want a root window.
