Re: xpm pixmap mode over the net
XPM building can take a very long time. IT depends on the server
and the speed of the connection.
Building XPM images over direct ethernet is quite fast. If you have
a fast link to the destination, I would say it would also be
reasonable.
Also, some servers may have local ethernet players, who want to use
the X Pixmaps. And of course, there is nothing forcing a person to
use the XPM images when they connect to a server. They can still use
fonts or the older pixmaps. Although, there was a bug that seemed to
start clients who did not specify what they want in X Pixmap mode.
