A recent storm took down my computer. But everything works fine... no data loss or anything. The ONLY problem I've found is that the the control middle and control right mouse button clicks in an XGterm window no longer bring up the menus. I've tried all I can think of. I've reinstalled X11iraf. I've check my app-default PATHs. All is fine. Even the Xterm ctrl-click menus works. The computer just beeps when I try those clicks on XGterm.I did find some weird ".pxmw2sk" looking file with some stuff about about xgterm in it but I deleted it before realizing I should keep it.Any ideas what's going on here? I'm starting to suspect that this isn't related to the storm but that a recent Ubuntu update broke the handling of these clicks and it didn't take affect until the storm forced a system boot. Dunno. Need more investigation.JasonPS. I tried for 2 days and but was unsuccessful at downloading X11IRAF from the iraf.net site. It hangs at some point during the transfer. Seems like maybe a problem with the site.

Does the left-button still work and bring up the expected menu? One thing to check is whether your CapsLock key is enabled (sometimes turned on explicitly at boot time). This modifies the event mask and it may be enough to break things, otherwise I'm at a loss to explain it.Which file were you trying to download from the site, AFAIK everything is working as it should,Cheers,

It was the capslock key getting turned on. I noticed first thing today when I came in to work. The capslock light is not working so I didn't noticed. Geez. Sorry. Stupid question.Jason
