I run Magic V6.3 under MIT X11R4 on a Sun Sparcstation 2 with a GX
graphics board running SunOS 4.1.1.  I would like to run magic under
Sun's Openwindows, so that I can use the GX board to accelerate
redraws.  This works fine if I use olwm, Sun's window manager, but I
would much rather use twm instead.  When I try to run magic under
Openwindows with twm, magic doesn't get mouse button presses from the
magic windows.  Sometimes the first window will get mouse events and
subsequent windows won't, and sometimes none of the windows do.  If the 
pointer is in a window, I can always receive keystrokes, however.

If anyone else has run into this problem and figured out what to do, I
would appreciate some help.
