More symptoms: things like xedit, xterm work fine. aXe has the problem described above. The menus drop down, but nothing on them is ever selected. More symptoms. tkHTML comes up, but the focus never moves into the window. The frame painted by fvwm works exactly as it's supposed to work. I tried setting the kernel option XSERVER and building a new kernel, but no difference. (A grep of all the code in the compile directory didn't find XSERVER, so my guess is its a relic.)
