unfortunately, this seems not to be the solution in my case --
display-event-status shows all events as being handled.  It seems to
be a window manager (vtwm) problem -- epoch is not getting focus
events when I move the mouse around.  Oddly enough, only epoch is
affected, and restarting the window-manager DOESN'T fix the problem.
Restarting EPOCH does.
	Any help would be appreciated...
