>What's wrong:
>
>I've noticed this on several systems (RSAIX, Sun, DEC). Sometimes, while I am>
>running Xess, I lose the ability to click on other windows. I cannot, for
>instance, raise a window that is behind the Xess window or any other window.
>I can use all the mouse functions within a window (I can still click on
>menu bars), but I cannot raise, lower, move, or resize windows. I cannot
>iconify or de-iconify windows, either. This is really annoying because I am
>about to lose some important notes I wrote in EZ. I iconified it a while
>back, and I have not saved the file, so it will be lost when I logout, since
>I cannot de-iconify it to save it!
>The only thing I can do is logout then log back in, which is really annoying.
>This does not always happen, only sometimes. I would think that you guys woul>d
>get this complaint often, since Xess is the main spreadsheet on Athena. Is
>there something I can do to stop this from happening?
>
>What should have happened:
>
>Well, obviously, running a program should not ruin the xwindows system.
