I'm using idraw from my vax3100, publicly configured.  I've noticed several
problems today:

It's slow to recognize mouse-clicks (left).  I was trying to use the x key
to get rid of some text, and idraw died.  Just threw me back to my unix
prompt with no error messages or anything.  Because idraw had been slow to
respnd, I had hit the x key several times without moving my mouse.  I had
started idraw up in foreground, but then iconified it, C-Z and bg, and
deiconified it.  The picture was one I had been modifying; the original had
been created 6 months ago.  (It's eot.f90.idraw, and is in my Public directory
if you want to look at it.)

Next, I started up idraw again.  This time I got pretty far, and was saving
frequently.  I x'd and moved a bunch of text objects, and reshaped a couple.
Then I was ready to type in some new text.  I couldn't get idraw to respond
to the left mouse click that would let me start typing.  (It did, though, let
me use the left mouse button to choose other menu options and to move objects.)
Finally I used the menu to save my picture one last time and exit idraw.  I
started it up again and was able to write text with no problem.
