I got stuck trying to resolve what I believe is a major flaw. However, I 
eventually gave up because I do't have the X11 skills to fix the problem 
correctly. Tha's a shame, because the flaw is actually just a kludge in one 
small piece of code; someone with the right skills could probably fix it in a 
day.

Great! I think I'm going to grab your offer with both hands. My XForms days 
are very limited I'm afraid as I'm soon going to be empoyed by a company that 
actively prohibits GPL software development. OK, XForms is LGPL-licenced, 
but...

Please set up a savannah account if you don't have one already and mail me the 
details. I'll add you to the project's list of administrators.
