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.
Try moving the mouse a tiny amount while holding the button. Same thing
happens to me on my laptop (2.0-SNAPsomething, PS/2 mouse) and that's
what I do. I gather that for some reason the button-down event isn't
sent until the mouse moves.
