Do you guys know this??
I've found something odd in mwm. I assumed it was supposed to be that
way, but when I mentioned it to Anne and Naomi, they said "I don't think
anyone knows about this, and you'd better tell people before the code
cutoff."
The problem is that when mwm is running, the Emacs command `Meta-space'
pops up an mwm menu window. M-space is supposed to be:
just-one-space:
Delete all spaces and tabs around point, leaving one space.
There may be other M-<key> or C-<key> or C-M-<key> combinations that are
caught by mwm instead of Emacs. Emacs users expect to be able to map
any of these combination as a command.
Is this conflict
-- a known bug,
-- an unknown bug,
