As an exercise I wanted to add the capability to have the menus stay
up after I release the button instead of going away in twm. I
essentially ignore the first release and the subsequent button press
and work with the second release. I have it all working properly
except for when I click the button for the menu and release it very
quickly. The program dumps core, and upon debugging it always
comes up in UpdateMenus at the XQueryPointer function call. If I
linger a little upon releasing the button the first time it works
like it is supposed to. Looking in the Xlib reference manual it say
that the logical state could lag behind the physical state, which
seems to be the problem.(?) Any hints?
BTW - I don't know if this goes against the look and feel of twm I
just wanted to do it for my own purposes and for the experience.
