Randy's changes make the Windows GUI look more like<BR>
Windows. My changes make mentor not crash starting<BR>
up just by checking for NIL and taking a lock.<BR>
I don't understand Trestle's locking and the comments<BR>
explaining it were too long for me to understand,<BR>
so I'm just guessing.<BR>
<BR>
Given how ugly and non-uniform X Windows GUIs tend to be,<BR>
Trestle being a good example -- it has its own<BR>
unique ugly look, changing is not a bad idea,<BR>
but not done here.<BR>

<DIV>Back in 2008 when I made these changes I did go to the current source tree and factor all this work into the then current tree. It was not a file replace situation, but rather very careful work trying to merge the changes back into the current tree. The POSIX implementation did not change, because the modifications were intended for Windows only. I think it would be wrong to try and make the GUI on Unix look like Windows.</DIV>
