Question: Are you running KDE? This same problem happens to me only when I am running KDE, not another window manager. Especially in KDE 1.0. The problem seems to go away when using a more recent unstable snapshot, but unfortunately of course, those tend to introduce more new bugs than they fix. I don't really have a solution for you ... I wish I did, because I am going to have to switch back to FVWM because this is annoying. ---Preston
