Hmm.. If that is the case, then perhaps it should be the default, or
at least a compile time option.
I guess what I'm saying is this:
this is a bug that should be fixed, either by afterstep, or sun. I
know of at least a couple of ways to do it in the afterstep
code. (4700 or put it on a local drive) We have implemented the
former and it seems to work correctly. I still suggest that it be
dealt with (or at least documented) in future versions. If a new
version comes out with the socket moved, we'll install it. At this
point, though, we're content with our solution.
