Ahhhh thanks :) I like white backgrounds so I just removed xaw3d and something
else that had been really annoying stopped happening as well :) With Xaw3d
some windows wouldn't pop to the front when I moved the mouse over them.
Things like xconsole. Without xaw3d they do :) I don't know if this is a bug
or just an annoying behaviour of xaw3d but I'm quite happy to be without it :)
