I think I figured out what you are talking about, but I don't see a problem. I'm not sure I can move a mouse in a perfectly linear way (always at right angles). So maybe I'm not appreciating some subtlety of whats happening. On my system, Fvwm lags behind the mouse (as I think it would be expected to) and I think X is throwing away some of the X traffic which might be what you are seeing. Fvwm doesn't attempt to keep the screen updating synchonous, and you wouldn't like it if it did. The effect would probably be a lot worse. If you think I'm missing something, or this is causing a problem, feel free to provide more details. -- Dan Espen E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
