Hello. I tried "OpaqueMove" option in my .twmrc - it helped to eliminate freezing during moving of windows. But freezing still occurs under the following conditions: 1) I create an xterm window with undefined geometry resourse, 2) twm draws the window outline and waits until I place it to somewhere on the screen, 3) xmms sound stops during the above twm waiting. PS. Also I noticed that xmms sound was twitching when I was reading e-mail with SeaMonkey :( -- Alexei Malinin
