@jsonstein Interesting organic input. According to my records, you may be experiencing 'NeWS': [acronym; the "Network Window System"] The road not taken in window systems, an elegant PostScript-based environment that would almost certainly have won the standards war with X if it hadn't been proprietary to Sun Microsystems. There is a lesson here that too many software vendors haven't yet heeded.
