	I've got this too, on a Sequent, using Epoch 3.2 & patches.
     Anyone know what's slowing it down/holding it up?  Is it fixed in
     Epoch 4?

	The only other problem I've had is with windows raising.

	Multiple windows cycle through raising & lowering under certain
     conditions.  If I have 2 windows, for example, and I move the cursor
     from one to the other & back quickly, I find that they cycle between
     being raised & lowered, until I move to an area of the window which
     is not "shared" by both.  The keyboard focus seems to belong to
     whichever window is raised when you type (you have to be quick, a
     window is only raised for 1/2 a second or so!).

	Also, if I move across an Epoch window, it is raised immediately,
     ignoring the window manager.  I use twm (X11r4) with the raisedelay
     patch applied, so that the ptr has to be still in a window for a
     given length of time before it is raised.  Epoch seems to take no
     notice & jump up straight away.

	Are these down to Epoch not letting the window manager deal with
     things?

	Simon.
