This is probably related to the multitude of problems I see under Olwm.
Things like clicking in one window and having the event go to the
previous window.  Or clicking in a Motif text widget and watching it
select everything between where I was the last time I used it and where
I just clicked (but only briefly, it then gets unselected - but god forbid
you started typing - pending delete will nuke it).

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
