xwindows

Hi Janina,
Well, Java support would be nice and it really should handle frames and 
tables.  I do like the ability in Internet Exploder to be able to tab 
and shift-tab through links.  At home though, the only thing I normally 
use WINDOWS for is Kurzweil 1000.  I'd guess that I spend 98% of my time 
on Linux.
