I have noticed this problem too. The strange thing is one of our machines at 
work has this problem and the another doesn't. I am wondering if the problem 
has something to do with the version of the operating system or X. In my case 
the machine with the problem is is a Pentium running FreeBSD 2.2.1 and a 
version of XFree86 that is on the 2.2.1 CD. (Off the top of my head I think it 
is 3.2). The machine that is working fine is a Pentium II runing FreeBSD 2.2.2 
and XFree86 3.3.
