In the file lycus:/site/jtkohl/mwm-scrollbar-fuckup you will find a
window dump showing what happens when you start an xterm (R4) under mwm,
turn on its scrollbar with the menu, and continue typing.

Somebody is messing up here, and I suspect it's mwm.  twm does the Right
Thing in this case.

As mwm is the default window manager for users, I consider this a
show-stopper bug.

Let me know when I can remove the window-dump file.

John
