My guess, bad hardware. When you click a mouse it should generate 2 X11 events: ButtonPress ButtonRelease This symptom in the bug report: I tried keynav and discovered some quite interesting results. First, the keynav worked as you described. And second, what I hadn't noticed before, is that when I click on a link (or try to), what happens visually is that a dotted gray box appears around the link, just as in keynav, and if I hit return the link is activated. makes me suspicious that you are only seeing one of the events or some other event oddity. In general Fvwm does not interfere with mouse clicks unless you tell it to. If you still think Fvwm is involved remove your mouse 0 and 1 bindings and test. You have 12 of them. -- Dan Espen
