Hi, my dear alpha testers! :-)

First of all: this is still alpha quality thing, so don't be surprised
if something doesn't work as expected (or at all). There are still some
known bugs, which I'll try to fix:

* the mouse pointer behaves strangely during a few first moves, and I don't
  know why...
* the vty switching corrupts the wserver - I gave up with this one for now...
* of course, the resolution is only 640x480x2 - I'm awaiting with great
  impatience for the code to set VESA modes (hint, hint :-)
* the browser is very primitive - it really supports the subset of HTML 1.0,
  which coupled with its ignorance of image alignment gives strange results.
  But it's better than nothing. And its relatively easy to develop...
* window decoration is very primitive. Once I have the color support working,
  I'll improve it - the W has built-in support for pixmaps...

How to use it?

Once running the W, there is a menu available under right button (if you press
it on the background). The windows got their focus when the mouse pointer is
on their area - now it's configurable (sticky vs. auto). Left button performs
most basic actions - right button only moves window from background to top.

The authors say that W programming is much easier than X programming, so I
plan to write W version of 'dialup' script to help configuring PPP...
Perhaps a simple config tool for other parts, too.

Please send me your comments. I also ask you not to distribute this version
yet - I don't want others to see such obvious bugs in hope they'll be fixed
soon...

Thanks!
