Right now, one of our biggest problems is having nsrauth in place.  When
it is in place, nsrexecd is almost certain to die.  However, nsrexecd
dies or the GUI hangs without it in place.

As far back as 1998 Legato had both dedicated Windows and dedicated  
Java programmers.  There is actually quite a bit of Windows and java  
experience there.  The only gui that was written by the client/server  
engineers was the original X windows gui (well, and nsradmin, my  
favorite).

7.3 apparently reflects a re-structuring of a lot of things along  
with a new GUI.  So, yes, it will take some time to settle out.  But  
it's not because C programmers are suddenly trying to write java.
