At this point, everything is working correctly, but I don't recall exactly how I fixed it. I'll provide additional information, though, just in case it causes someone to recognize any suspicious patterns. > > After upgrading several packages to the latest woody versions, > > several things broke in X: I suspect that a (if not the) major cause of my problems was that the system in question was originally slink-with-selected-potato-packages, then I started adding in selected woody packages without having brought it up to full potato, so it was a mix of a slink base with a few old potato versions and a lot of newer woody packages installed on top of it. IIRC, everything started working again when I upgraded all the slink and old potato code to current potato. > > - Left clicks behaved erratically - Backspace stopped working - The > > 'Windows' key no longer functioned as a usable meta key > > > > I'm not sure whether the keyboard problems are wmaker-related; if I > > decide it's a likely cause of those problems, I'll file a separate > > bug. > > > > The mouse behavior, OTOH, resolved itself into a consistent pattern > > after a little experimentation: WindowMaker itself received left > > clicks, but no > > How did you test this? (I guess the question is "is left-clicking > mapped to some non-default value?") I didn't test it systematically. Left-clicking initially appeared to be completely dead, then I went to change the volume setting on my sound card and, out of habit, tried to do so with the mouse. Even though I clicked within wmmixer's volume control and dragged up (which normally is received by wmmixer and increases the volume), wmaker behaved as if I had clicked on a non-application-controlled area of the dockicon and went into 'drag dockapp to a new location' mode. I then played with it a bit more and saw a consistent pattern that anything application-controlled (GUI windows, buttons, etc.) ignored left-clicks, while any of wmaker's decorations (dock, titlebars, resizebars, etc.) reacted normally to them. > > other application received them.

I'll attach a copy, although I don't expect it to contain anything problematic. -- "Two words: Windows survives." - Craig Mundie, Microsoft senior strategist "So does syphillis.
