- It's because tvtwm places its virtual root window over the entire X
- root window. If I remember right, the Xmu code that finds the client
- window under the pointer can't deal with it and returns the wrong X
- window ID. It's exactly the same reason that xwd doesn't work
- properly. A partial solution is to make the window sticky before
- selecting it.
