I've been having two problems with MacX and mice.  

	1) The middle and right mouse buttons ( left and right arrow )
	   will frequently 'stick.'  The application sees the button press,
	   but does not see the button release.  This happens both with a
	   one button mouse, using the arrow keys for the middle and right
	   buttons, and with a programmable 3-button mouse.  It also 
	   doesn't make a difference which of the Mouse options on the 
	   misc. prefs. list is selected.  This creates *big* problems 
	   with scrolling in the Athena Widget set.

	2) The pointer focus becomes stuck in one window.  Occasionally 
	   the pointer focus ( but *not* the keyboard focus ) will become
	   stuck in one window.  Keyboard focus will still move the way it's 
	   supposed to, but any button press events are delivered to
	   one window, no matter where the mouse is.  If I iconify the
	   window, the focus becomes stuck in the next window I click in.
	   The only way to restore proper operation is to shut down all of
	   my applications and restart MacX; inconvenient to say the least. 
	   Once again, this appears to be independent of mouse type. 

	Any help would be greatly appreciated.
