Patchlevel 6 of tvtwm is now available from export.lcs.mit.edu in
contrib/tvtwm.tar.Z.  Nothing real new, mainly fixes for some fairly nasty
bugs that were introduced in the last patch.  The most significant new thing
in the tar file is a new utility that we've been shipping with swm.  It's
called swmxlate and it converts relative corrdinates to virtual desktop 
absolute coordinates.  A sample use would be

  xterm -geom `swmxlate -geom +100+200`

The xterm would be placed at +100+200 relative to where you are currently 
positioned in the virtual desktop.

Here's the blurb from the patch file which has been sent to comp.sources.x:

tvtwm patch 6

This patch fixes the following problems:

 1.  Fixes "phantom window frame" problems.
 2.  Bug fixes to window move cleanup.
 3.  Added gridded movement in panner.  Try starting a pan operation and then
     hold down the shift key. (Salvador Pinto Abreu spa@fct.unl.pt)
 4.  Fixes the crash problem when multiple mouse buttons are pressed.
