I wonder if this is related to a mega-frustrating problem that I
have with X11 a couple times per week - I haven't been able to pin
it down to something reproducible. I have a sad engineering life
just too full of meetings - all coordinated through iCal. I'll be
using some cadtools on my linux box, with all the X11 windows
displaying on my MacBook Pro, when all of a sudden a mouse-down
event I'm in the middle of (e.g. a window move or doing a selection
rectangle) will just stick and there's absolutely nothing I can do
to unstick the mouse. I've tried cmd-tabbing to another application
and things work OK there but when I return to X11 the problem picks
up right where it left off (I also want to say that even if in that
other application that if my mouse touches a X11 window that the
problem also picks right up again). Even going to another space and
coming back doesn't fix it. I literally have to quit X11 and start
over. Sooo annoying.
Would the problem allow you to go to an xterm window and use the VT
Options Soft or Hard reset?.
