- I'm one of the people hacking on xview3. My current obstacle is the textsw
- problem. Has anyone found a fix yet? I've made some progress on isolating
- it but haven't quite got it yet. Debugging is slow because the textsw bug
- has a tendancy to lock your system up. I'm also planning on fixing the
- missing LC_MESSAGES prob. Am I reinventing the wheel here?
