Hmmm.  I have another sort-of-related question.

My mouse works fine.  Well almost.  It is a ps/2 mouse, and I added the
psm0 device as described in the faq.  I can move it around and use it to
select windows and such.  The three button emulation works.  The only thing
that doesn't work is pulling up the twm menu.  When I press button 1 on the
background, nothing happens.  When I release the button, the twm menu
appears and then immediately disappears.  Anyone know what I'm doing wrong
here?
