Leon,
FWIW, I have seen a similar problem with Exceed, of all things, so this
leads me to think that there might be some X messages getting lost in
transit from some hosts, and that it has little to do with the X server
itself. I may be wrong, of course, and these could simply be similar bugs
in the two X servers...
