We've noticed this is only a problem if you run the Openwin (xnews) server.
Running Epoch with the MIT server does not have this problem.  (Note
that the X server and not the window manager matters here.)

It must be some bug in the server, but it would sure be nice if Epoch
found a way to work around it since other X applications don't exhibit
this problem.
