Phew, thats pretty tough. Are there differences in installed programs? TweakUI or similar might be candidates which change expected windows behaviour. If such programs are installed, please check if the settings of the programs differ. If this does not give any clues there is the possibility to compile XWin with massive debugging output. It will print which windows messages are received and how they are processed. I can provide the binaries in the next days. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
