I haven't done a lot of testing yet but the only problem I noticed
with the current version is that bits of the mouse pointer would
sometimes get left on the screen after moving a window. There may
well be some differences due to different servers, I am testing
with the Xvnc server running on NetBSD-Amiga and Linux. I should
be able to put together a Win95 server to see how that compares.
At work, I use the Win95 client talking to an NT server and that
works OK, although screen updates can be quite slow.

George
