Re: stuck pointer in dia-88.1 under wmaker



Hi Cyrille,

Thanks for the hints. I haven't instumented the dia code (yet? we'll see...)
per your suggestions, but do have a couple of interesting observations:

- I disabled gpm, and made X read mouse events directly from /dev/psaux,
  and the stuck pointer problem continued as before;
- I have been using the sawfish window manager for a week or so now, and
  have not had one stuck pointer.

So, completely anecdotally, it seems that dia and windowmaker can have a
slight disagreement that other WMs are not prone to having. I have run dia
quite a few times on another (desktop) system reliably with windowmaker,
so I know my problem is not a universal one. I would not be surprised if my
(laptop) mouse pointer creates some odd mouse event timings that cause
windowmaker and dia to wedge.

Thanks for the help.

Otto
