I have walked to school uphill both ways through--ok, it was only two 
feet of snow, but it *was* uphill both ways.  God strike me.

Well it ain't going to happen and that's nothing to cry about, still, 
I'd ask how hard would it be?  Could be a nice little come-on for 
bashers and I'm quite sure I'd use it, now that I think about it.  You 
don't miss something you've not had, but once you have it who's to say 
who might not like it?  I'm thinking how cool it might be to have 
different builds on different xterms showing different BG colors, so 
that it's easier to keep track of which is which.  But, yes, it is just 
a bon-bon.
