Ok, it was a few months ago and I didn't do a lot of testing but
from what I remember there were a few trivial display problems
in Texel.

1. the cell lines were not displayed, the horizontal ones I think
2. the mouse didn't switch to the spinning whirlygig thing that is
   also use by Papyrus.

There were also problems with some of the radio buttons but that
may have been an earlier version of Xaaes.

As an aside, when I refer to key apps I mean those apps which
are the only example of a decent working type of an application.

For me this means stuff like: Texel, Papyrus, MyMail, Newsie,
Highwire, Photoline, ScanX, AtarICQ, Aniplayer.

I know there are other alternatives but this is the GEM stuff that
I've acquired over the years.
