Re: frozen windows

Hi;

It sounds like something ( maybe matchbox ) is doing a server grab and
not releasing it. 

If you could give me something ( ie C++ source ) so I can repoduce the
issue locally that would be really helpful.

What version of matchbox are you running ? Does the issue happen with
CVS ?
