I have a client that uses a timeout routine. This client sends out a message when I press the mouse button. It doesn't care if anybody sees the message. I use XSetSelectionOwner so that any of my other clients who are looking for the information can tell that its valid information (the beginning of the data I send is the window number of the first client). The problem is that when I press the mouse button, selection events are passed to my client and suddenly I have four steps in my data whizzing by. I know that there are five events in X11R3 that are always selected and this is why the events come. My questions are; If these events were not always selected, would there be any bad side effects? Is there any way to unselect one, some or all these event types? If not, why? Is there an easier way to send out a message that won't elicit any events or will only elicit maskabble events? If so could somebody send me a sample? Thanks in advance. -- --harkcom@potato.pa.yokogawa.co.jp
