In fvwm2/AnotherLevel, menus appear 100% of the time
I click. Right-click, Programs menu; left-click,
"start" menu; middle click, running x apps menu.
It doesn't matter. If I click, I get a menu,
every time.
In icewm, menus appear 90% of the time I click/
unclick in less than say, 1/4 second, and they appear
maybe 10% of the time when click/unclick is separated
by more than 3/4 second or so. Middle-unclick is even
less responsive than left or right unclick.
This does not logically lead to a conclusion of
hardware trouble. It does logically hint at a problem
with event-handling under this particular iteration of
icewm.
Though now that I look at it, I suppose the standard
'./configure - make - make install' doesn't result in
the optimal binary:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3570821 Sep 5 18:54 /usr/local/bin/icewm
Seems awfully large, especially when compared to
fvwm2/AnotherLevel and twm (from rpm).
