If you hold down C-SPC, it's eventually going to start auto-repeating (which would yield flashing messages like you see), though I imagine _should_ cause X to "cancel" the auto-repeat state of C-SPC (it does for me); if not, I guess that could be an X bug. [Repeating C-SPC seems to now toggle active mark state, which I guess is new behavior (or at least I don't recall it seeing it before), but seems reasonable enough.] -Miles -- Clarionet, n.
