Re: Re: Cygwin/X 1.7 keyboard/mouse freeze shortly after Xwin login to Solaris

["Mark Veneziano" <mark at alnmark dot com>]

Confirmed, I see the same behavior on FC12 with 
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.5-1.fc12.x86_64.  In XDMCP mode, clicking a CDE 
panel up-triangle for the second time in a session causes a 
mouse/keyboard freeze.
