This issue is in the todo list:
D. To be discussed
------------------
D.2 Leave or remove the current change to triggering bindings on button press
or release? Seems to irritate a lot of users, but fixes a root window
binding bug.
[dv: added on 29-Mar-2003]
As far as I know there is only this compatibility issue between 2.4.x and
the future 2.6. I don't think this fix is worth having to run a conversion
script.
There are some issues with using a beta. This change may or may not remain.
Right now, I'm living with the problem rather than change my config.
