- I also saw the "missing functionality" message, along with the lack of a
- scroll bar while using xrn with openwin3. However, xrn runs just fine
- when using X & another window manager, such as twm. This would tend to
- say that the "app-defaults" file suggestion isn't correct (unless xrn
- looks for the file in a different place depending on the window manager).
