System name:		safdie
Type and version:	KN01 7.2R
Display type:		PM-COLOR

What were you trying to do?
	kill an xterm using the left box menu (mwm) on the window bar

What's wrong:
	another window usually pops up saying
        that the process may not die gracefully, and asks if I want it
        dead anyway... like on other workstations.
        however, on the dec3100's no cursor comes up with this window, making
        it very difficult to get the mouse to move the cursor into the window
        so I can click my choice. (that is, the big round cursor with the white
        stripe doesn't show up. the arrow does appear once I manage to get the
        cursor in the window. not an easy task, I assure you.)

What should have happened:
	the big round cursor should have appeared

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	I have no clue
