I agree - those apps supply Motif hints. These are somewhat 
archaic, but still supported and actively used.
AfterSTep does support them too, except that there was a bug 
causing them to be ignored ( as well as some settings in 
database too ). I've fixed it like last night, and the fix is in 
CVS. So the next beta will have it, which should be in about 2 
weeks. Sorry for inconvinience. Feel free to check out CVS for now.
