I have no specific ideas.
What is "the program that is supposed to receive those events"? The window manager? Or the application? Sorry if this question sounds silly but I do not really know how the components of the X window system work together. If you think the application is the one that behaves incorrect, I doubt that you are right. The debugger 'ddd' I have been talking of so far is just one example that is publicly available. The right mouse button works in no application that I have used at all. The others I ave been using so far are: ClearCase GUI, HP OpenView VantagePoint Operations. In none of these does the right mouse button work as expected. I have installed cygwin-xfree on about 5 computers so far, and all behave the same way. I suppose that one of the following reasons are responsible for the problems: 1) The X server is misconfigured in some way and I make the same mistake in every X server installation on the Windows boxes. 2) All X applications I am using are faulty. 3) The sun box (in fact, two sun boxes) behaves incorrect. 4) There is a bug in xfree. It could well be that number <1> is the thing that is causing the problems. I have very few experience with X servers and there is a big possibility that I should configure things different. Any more ideas? Stefan
