Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Offscreen and No DirectInput Test 6

["Arkadiy Belousov" <arkadiy at micromuse dot com>]

The X window appears as solid white, then gets X background with X cursor in
the middle. When I move the mouse over window, X cursor turns into norteast
corener resizing cursor, I see a position popup box with +209 +262 in it,
and then the X cursor freezes. When I move Windows cursor over X window
again, it passes under the window.

Sometimes I see something resembling an xtern, once I even saw some output
from keyboard, bt it's very erratic.
