Bingo!  I hope someone at NeXT realizes this *problem* is
annoying.  The *workaround* is to "iconify" the covering
window, but I think it is clear this is not ideal.

Those of us using X with a 2-button mouse probably know about
pressing both buttons at the same time to "simulate" the pressing
of the "middle" button.  One guy didn't think that was enough, so
he got himself a 3-button mouse and proceeded to bind commands to
buttons 4, 5, 6, and 7 (various combinations of the three buttons).
Now, let's see...  Was it left-button and middle-button or all
three???
