I've been using WP7 for several months and it runs quite nicely. So far I
haven't found anything new with WP8. I'd like to have some of the other
apps from the WP Suite, like QuattroPro. I guess that will be late next
year, unless they wait for WP2000, the next version. Hopefully Corel will
include a database someday as well, to better compete with M$ Office.
Strangely enough, the problem I was having:

seems to be related to WindowManager. If I run X as root or another user,
or use twm, I don't get this error. Even removing all my X config files
from my home directory didn't help. Strange! Does anyone know what might
make a call to X_GrabButton?
