I saw that, too, to wit:

2. This is a minor config problem.  As it comes out of the box, the
   winlist shows up about a third of the way down from the top of the
   screem, namely below the pager.  Apparently the pager loaded first,
   and the winlist couldn't find space above the pager.  I changed the
   pager geometry from -1+27 to -1+30 and the winlist was a happy
   camper.  Interestingly, the (stock) autoexec has winlist loading
   first with a "wait" after it.

I agree.  I've resorted to playing with other WMs to get away from the
niggling problems.  Currently using IceWM.

Well, IceWM loads faster than AS, but doesn't have virtual desktops
(multiple panes per desktop) and I miss asmail and some other goodies,
but IceWM gets my work done.
