xcalc is just a simple calculator, gyroscope is something to find out the
number of one of the 256 colors that you may need for html writing or
gifs, vmac is a Mac Plus emulator. Just gimmics ;-)

But more fun than the gimmicks in KDE etc, IMHO.

Jukka helped me with my .twmrc. Most stuff is unmodified. You'll need
the line with xterm !!
