Because there is no guarantee these modifiers are still pressed when the new event is processed. Normally, it is guaranteed that if an application freezes key event processing and then queries the current keyboard state, it gets the same modifier mask as in the event that initiated the freeze. That's not the case here. Ciao Dominik ^_^ ^_^ -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
