Well, if you solution is everthing you claim, then you certainly have not

It's my fault that you have forgotten it? I don't thinks so. If you did
not want to use it then you should have said a long time ago before I wasted
days on it.
The impression I have gathered is that it requires hooks to watch >messages

Nothing has changed about it using hooks. Nothing at all. If his solution
does work/ not had time to try it out. Then at least the jmp's and signal
handling should still be of some use.

And the reading I did whilst creating the changes would indicate this only
happens for applications that explicitly choose it too.
Motif apps don't either it would seem.
