I use Sylpheed for some things, Google's webmail for the list. (Lazy, yes.)

But I think the real bug is not in Claws, although hand-installing the
latest version of Claws may help. Be interested in what you hear from
them.

X11 should limit the amount of damage an application can do to the
pointer, and that's what I was focusing on.
