I have run into a strange quirk I'm hoping someone can help me resolve. I have
FreeBSD 2.0.5 from Walnut Creek and have installed XFree86 3.1.1 all with a
straight installation and doing nothing fancy. My problem manifests itself
in apps such as aXe and x3270. These apps have pull down menus, and the menu
activates, but none of the selections in the menu will be selected. The pull
down goes away an nothing happens. 

Any ideas? Did I mess something up in my installation of XFree86? It happens
on two machines I have done, but Linux and XFree86 on the same machines didn't
have that problem.

Thanks.
