- Well, I've been running Smalltalk with co-Xist for a few weeks
- now and haven't been very happy with it. Window updates are
- slow and inaccurate. You must constantly refresh windows
- manually. Mouse clicks are often missed or inserted where you
- didn't make one, and you're never quite sure what shape the
- pointer will be.
-
- I'd look at another package.
