The libraries are fine - I don't think that is the problem. There seems to
be some strange mode that the server gets into where athena menus don't
work. By "don't work" I mean that they pop up but you can't select any
options. It doesn't matter if the client is local or remote - the same
behavior occurs. Oddly enough, when I logged out and back in, it
mysteriously recovered.

Something weird is going on that occasionally prevents athena menus from
working. It isn't Xaw3d-specific - I tried other athena clients like xman
and they exhibit the same bad menu behavior.

I think X works reasonably well. I wish it had fast scrolling like the
old Ultrix X server. I also am still observing the keyboard 'bounce'
problem when I go back into console mode after starting X - probably
a keyboard or serial driver problem - other folks have observed this
as well.
