I think that that explaination is unlikely for two reasons:
1) Correl draw didn't really grab the focus, if you put the mouse on top
of another window, (xterm for example) you could still type into the
xterm. The Dash was also recieving the appropriate mouse clicks.
2) If it was with Corell draw, then it should appear on all the machines,
but when i moved to the adjacent identical machine and used Corell Draw
for a few hours with no problems.
