There was a bug in XtInstallAccelerators that would cause applications
that used it to dump core.  Either define ACCELERATORBUG in the xrn
file config.h (this will turn off accelerators in XRN) or install MIT 
Patch #8 to the X Toolkit Intrinsics.

I have not seen the HighlightRegion problem before.

P.S.  You can send XRN bug reports to 'xrn@eros.berkeley.edu'.
