Yes. Keys don't even generate KeyPress or KeyRelease events, according
to xev.

No, I never saw that thread, I have a total of 19 messages for all of
last year in my ctwm folder, half of which were spam, and I didn't
know I could access the repository until Richard just told me. (Not
that the path he gave actually works, but... :-P)

Just did, and the CVS version fixes the problem. Kudos on finding it.

The line you erased from add_window.c wasn't in my original patch, I
never even touched that file. Wonder how it got there...

Either way, good work!

Well, I had not seen much of anything happening in the last year plus.
Now I find a bunch of discussions that I hadn't seen, including one
about fixing the bug I'd been hunting. Trust me, I'd remembered if I'd
seen that one.

(Richard, if you have mail server logs showing delivery to me for the
last year, I'd be interested - I first thought it was bogofilter, but
I keep my spam, and there is nothing there, however, mail to this
address bounces around a bit before getting to me.)
