Hey folks --

I've been paying attention to the list, but maybe I've missed something.
I quote myself (and then Jordan) from an old post:

I just tried this.  This is in a script, suid root, which is then called
from within my .fvwmrc.  It didn't seem to help anything, in fact it made
things worse.  Before (If I remember right, it was a few hours ago) I
could cut n' paste with the mouse.  After doing this, hitting a mouse
button from within a window only pulled up the "ctrl-mouse button" menus.  

I'm running an old SNAP, and maybe this has been fixed, or maybe I've done
something wrong with my script.  If there's something else I can do to
help figure this out I'm up for it.

Regards,

Brian
