By the way, you can specify the geometry of the window on the command
line.

Hmm, this is odd. The pointer grab on the resizing of the window would be
a window manager thing, so I don't quite see how it can be causing xforms
to lose ClientMessage events.
Ben, originally this bug manifested itself when certain dialogs were
opened, or when a menu was open. I couldn't reproduce it any other way,
but you are saying there is another case I missed in the source :(
Either way, we can't really do any more testing until the xforms people do
another (pre) release. I've tried hassling them, but no response as of
yet.
