Hi!
How do I discard events in CLX ? I have several windows 
mapped on the screen representing various buttons and commands.
Each of these windows also looks out for "enter-window" and 
"leave-window" events among other events. When I move the mouse
across the screen to position it on a particular button, all the
buttons in the path of the mouse note the two events and this slows
down the response. Is there any way of notifying an "enter-window"
event to take place only if the mouse has been in the window for
some time 't' ? I have hightlight and unhighlight functions as 
responses to the above mentioned events. It is painful when you
have about twenty windows highlighting and unhighlighting. I think
there should be a way to discard all events except the last two or so.
