I'm having the exact same problem on my 1.2 installation. Actually,
1.2 was fine for a while, until I tried to build 1.4, and at some
point in the process, this problem started. I backed out to 1.2 (I had
made a backup of my /usr directory before starting the 1.4 install),
but the problem was still there. Happens whether I use Sawfish or
Enlightemnemnt as my WM.

This is on FreeBSD 3.2, which is of course completely obsolete, but my
employer hasn't updated its standard platform yet, so I'm stuck with
it for now.
