WISHES FOR THE FUTURE OF VTWM
=============================

  * From vtwm-5.1 spawned two independent versions, vtwm-5.2 and vtwm-5.2b. 
    The features added to 5.2b are different from the ones added to 5.2, and
    I based my version(s) on 5.2 rather than 5.2b since in 5.2 the features
    were, in my humble opinion, more useful, while in 5.2b the new stuff was
    mostly `chrome' (e.g., XPM support, etc.).  I was seriously considering
    adding the features from 5.2b into 5.3, but I didn't have enough time.

    I would like to see most of the features from 5.2b merged into the next
    version, especially the color XPM support and m4 pre-processing of the
    *twmrc file.  See below for more info. --- DSE

      other programs want to use this info. (e.g. xpostit).

    * Many bugfixes, especially to do with desktop stacking order and
      iconification/deiconification of the desktop windows.
