Another problem with BeginRefresh/EndRefresh (I thrive on them :-)):

There seems to be a problem with calling SetWindowTitles during a refresh.
This can cause Intuition to freeze up. I have a function that redraws the
screen, called during refresh. This function does a SetWindowTitles. I was
using a SIMPLE_REFRESH window, and you get a window refresh request every
time you select options from the menu. With the SetWindowTitles call
present, if you try and select the menus again(before the refresh is done),
you get the usual interlock symptoms (frozen mouse pointer).

Any suggestions as to workarounds would be greatly appreciated (for the
moment, I simply don't set the title during refresh).
