NOTES:
======================

I seem to be having abit of difficulty with the mail servers --
please try me at mjbaker@cslserver.csl.mtu.edu if you fail to get a response
from mjbaker@mtu.edu 

I've gone to great lengths to attempt to speed up the handling from the
previous versions. This version has very little refresh events and depends
greatly on x's backingstore and xevent handling.
When root-tail starts up xevent handling is turned on for the root window and
all exposed areas of the root get cached, as windows move and more of the
background is exposed it too gets added to x's cache, only when an uncahced
area of the background changes will rt refresh. This means that if you want the best performace i recommend loading rt before anything else is loaded in order
to allow for proper caching.
If anyone can fix this or speed up the program more please email me patches.

*IMPORTANT!
If you're using windowmaker please turn on UseSaveUnders in your WindowMaker config -- you will notice a difference. (this option is off by default)

you can also try adding 
#define break_expose
to rt.c to disable some XSelectInput code and possibly speed things up more
