simple enough...

Actually, that makes a lot of sense.

As Jim mentioned, perhaps not worth it, given that work will go
forward on randr.
On a related note. I've noticed one other problem related to this
amazing hack. twm will not respond to window selection events to the
right of pixel column 240 in landscape mode. By "window selection
events" I mean the initial phase of a "move", "focus", or "resize"
command when the pointer is a dot and the initial click selects the
window to be acted upon. Interestingly enough, titlebar clicks still
work in that portion of the screen.
Workaround: Always stay in the leftmost 240 pixels when doing one of
these commands. (Hopefully this will save some frustration for
others. I must have done 20 unsuccessful moves in a row before I
figured out what the true symptom of the problem was.)
