I am about to lose my mind!  I hope someone has a fix for this...

I am not using the DECwindows-supplied window manager (dxwm) - I figure that
since it was not accepted as the standard by OSF, I will wait for the next
version to convert from what I am used to - which is MIT uwm.

I am using the uwm that came with UWS 2.0 (Ultrix 3.0), and everything is
mostly fine.  However, I have the Compose Character key set to be the meta
key (the default, I believe), and quite often after I have used it to move
a particular window, it eats the next two characters I try and type in the
window (like and xterm).

Does anyone know how to allow uwm to completely kill the Compose Character
function and use the key as just a meta key?
