Strange things can happen to the Window Manager when Pyro is active. Here
is an amusing example:
Configuration: Mac SE/HD20, System 6.02, MultiFinder 6.1a2 active, with
Finder6.1 the active application. Pyro3.3.
Open a window, and start dragging it. Don't release the mouse button until
the end of the experiment. Drag to the "Sleep now" corner of Pyro and wait
for it to activate. Then drag back toward the center of the screen. The
Window Manager starts drawing strange things on the screen.
I guess the problem is that the Window Manager does not expect anything to
change under it during a DragWindow. Pyro could be changed to not activate
in this situation.
