I just came back from getting a drink today, and was going to iconify a window (happened to be a vt100 window). Clicked the mouse on the iconify spot--nothing. I thought I had my had on the wrong mouse button, but nope. Sure enough. None of the Motif stuff would work with the mouse. No Resize of windows, no movement of windows, no menus up. I'm set up for the keyboardFocusPolicy to be pointer. The borders did indeed indicate (and I could type into) windows were active/inactive. Scrollbars also worked with a mouse. Has anyone else seen this? I don't know that I did anything different than usual. The only way I fixed it was to ctrl-alt-backspace out, and restart. (I tried various signals to mwm to see if I could initiate a restart. Alas 1,3 were caught and put up a "cancel mwm" box, 2 didn't seem to do anything, and 4, well...)

This will produce the same effects as that described. Turning numlock off seems to fix it ok for me.
