Observations: Happens under (several versions of) "twm", but not under "uwm" (could not regenerate the above bug). Once the cursor gets stuck it stays stuck (even if I kill twm). -- Boaz. ======================================================== * Boaz Ben-Zvi (boaz@neutron.lcs.mit.edu) * * MIT: NE43-526 Tel: (617) 253-6212 * ========================================================
