  It now handles shape extensions.  When it was free, it crashed over 90%
of the time.  I've used the non free version with ICEWM, Nedit,
GNOME, Netscape.

  It does not handle some of the pictures on the ICEWM menu bar very well.
But for the prices, I found it to be very acceptable for what I was doing.

  Your mileage will vary.
