Hmmm - you may have hit the proverbial nail right there. Java tries its damnedest to produce the exact same behaviour on each platform. Which lead to such least-common- denominator issues as only supporting one mouse button originally. In this case, it seems it's trying to make everything on X act like it does on Mac and Doze. And probably getting it wrong, but that's *why* it's doing this. I'll go have a word with some people and see what they think. Ta, -- o o mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] /v\ark R.
