I have verified it on a large 1.2Mbyte xview program. Just a warning: I got the patches from there, applied them (no reject files), compiled it and: olwm works, clock works. cmdtool -> reboot (or login from a different system/terminal and kill the xserver, etc.) shelltool -> crash. textedit -> crash as soon as a file is loaded. Didn't test the other clients, though. Running just one xview program (1.2 MB file size isn't large, anyway) is not a real test ! Perhaps this program was even olwm, which, indeed, is working. Just a hint for others to wait. At least two persons are trying to get it working (including me).
