After changing from fvwm2 to windowmaker, I'm noticing one particular
slowness that I can't explain or fix.
Plain mouse actions (movement, auto-focus) and full window movements
seem to be as quick as ever. The problem comes when I click-and-drag on
the title bar to begin moving a window.
Although the window comes into (auto)focus immediately, it doesn't
follow the drag. As I drag with the mouse button held down, the window
unfocuses. It's as if I'd never clicked on it. The same with resizing a
window. I have to hold the mouse button down without moving for a
second before I begin dragging.
I used xpaint to check mouse behaviour. Yep, the mouse click is not
slow, it's the drag. With the ray tool (click at each end of a line)
you can work very rapidly, but the paintbrush and pencil don't draw
at all unless you lean on the button for a second at the beginning
of each stroke.
What I'd like to know is what is likely to be responsible for this
annoying difference. Is it some kind of resource usage problem,
a window manager default configuration that I haven't been able to
find yet, a characteristic of the window manager, a problem with
moused, or something else? (This is FreeBSD 4.2R FWIW)
