- Has anyone noticed how slowly an X application written with the Athen Widget
- set is when it comes to either reorganizing the buttons in a box or removing
- such a window from the screen? If you have a lot of MH folders and you run
- xmh, then execute the "close window" function to make it go away, it takes a
- long time to disappear from the screen! You can see the server removing one
- button at a time every second, until most of them are gone, then the whole
- window finally disappears. I'm wondering if this is a problem in the Athena
- Widget set or if it's a bug in IBM implementation of the X11R4 server. I
- called IBM about it but they don't care since they don't see the problem using
- a Motif application. It seems to be slower when removing buttons which use the
- shape extension than if it doesn't use that.

- Please Email me directly because I can't always keep up with mail on this
- newsgroup. I wish I could!
