The program I usually have problems with is Mozilla, which does the select-dragging thing -- there, you _can_ click inside the selection to reduce it to a point, but if your click is a little sloppy and produces some movement events between the down/up events, it thinks you're trying to drag instead. Actually none of the Gnome programs I tried seem to implement `selection dragging with mouse-1' at all... -Miles -- `...the Soviet Union was sliding in to an economic collapse so comprehensive that in the end its factories produced not goods but bads: finished products less valuable than the raw materials they were made from.'
