The only way that I am aware of for this to happen is if an errant confine_to is left. This occurs when either XGrabPointer or XGrabButton calls are not properly ungrabbed afterwords. None of the XGrabPointer calls in blackbox set a confine_to window and the XGrabButton calls should be ok. Does this happen right after a keybinding event (i.e you just did a keyboard based resize, move, etc)? This is most odd, wish I could come up with some kind of explanation for you. On the subject of load, what load average is the machine in when this occurs? Perhaps purposefully grinding a machine could help reproduce this? That would imply there is a timing issue somewhere in the code which is usually safe but that a high load tickles. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
