I'm using Domain X on a DN3000 under SR9.7 (because some of our
commercial software does not yet run under 10.
I'm running with the dm in a dominant role and just the X server
in the background to be able to run X applications but
without having to use the more than terrible uwm window manager
(I'm very happy with dm).

Very often there seems to be some kind of deadlock.
This occurs if I click the mouse button to close to the edge of
an X window.
I also have trouble killing X. About 1 out of 3 times I logout
I have to blast some process away.
If I don't shut after blasting I'm bound to experience some
strange behavior the next day, such as shells hanging.

Has anyone experienced problems of the same nature?
