What were you trying to do?

  Ummm... find bugs in twm?


What's wrong:

  I pulled out a twm menu from the root window and selected "kill"
(f.destroy). The cursor turned to skull and crossbones and the menu
remained on the screen with "kill" highlighted. So far so good.

  I clicked on the menu, wondering if it would kill twm, ignore the click,
or abort the operation. It did none of these. It killed the window that
happened to be _behind_ the menu. I did not click in that window, I clicked
in the menu. Therefore this is not the proper behavior.


What should have happened:

  It probably should have aborted the operation, as clicking in the root
window would have. Other operations like "iconify" work the same way as
"kill."


Please describe any relevant documentation references:
