Hi Jao,

I think i found the problem, or rather the solution, as I'm not too
familiar with X protocol.

Change the following in the move-resize-by-key-cursor.jl file:

On line 71 change (allow-events 'sync-both) to (allow-events
'async-both)

and do the same to line 85, reload the (move-resize-by-key-cursor.jl),
then all should be well...it is here anyway.

Not sure why though...
