Improving VNC performance with 'twm'

• Don't make the desktop deeper than you need to.
• disable the dithering on the title bar by using a solid bitmap.
• 
  In .twmrc put:

  Pixmaps
  {
    TitleHighlight "solid"
  }
  

  and put a bitmap file 'solid' on the bitmap path containing:

  #define solid_width 4
  #define solid_height 1
  static char solid_bits[] = {0x0f};
  

  You can set the X bitmap path - I have in my .Xresources:

  *bitmapFilePath:/home/qsf/bitmaps
  

• make the scrollbar solid

• *Scrollbar*thumb: solid
  *Scrollbar*foreground: grey
  

• remove the subtle modification of the window border when it gets
• 
  focus. In .twmrc:

      NoHighlight

• use click-to-focus instead of point-to-focus (does twm allow this?)
• 
  Then the window doesn't change when your mouse just happens to move over it.
