------------------------------------------------------------------------
A brief synopsis of the problem: killing viewdoc when xterm is underneath
causes xterm to insert what's in the x kill buffer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please describe the problem in detail (mention any necessary files or
commands that may be involved, on which machine the bug happened, and what
the program did that was wrong):
Viewdoc traps the ButtonPress X event to exit. Xterm traps the ButtonRelease
X event to insert kill buffer. When viewdoc is over xterm and the middle
button is pressed and not released as the window dies xterm received the
ButtonRelease event and inserts the kill buffer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Repeat by (please enter a set of commands which will allow us to
repeat the bug):
/mit/athenadoc/viewdoc foo.PS
move viewdoc window over xterm
move cursor over intersection of viewdoc and xterm
press middle button
wait a second
release middle button
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fix (if you know what it is):
get viewdoc to trap ButtonRelease (like Zephyr)
