A few bugs



Ardi might want to look at King's Corner, available in the card
games directory on simtel to degub a few graphics routines under
SVGALIB on linux.  Running in 16 color mode at 640x480, grabbing
a card and moving it around very quickly can sometimes leave unerased
card 'sections' on the screen.  Also, the game background color changes 
as the card is dragged.

A few mac emulations points.  (1) If you click in the menubar and move
the mouse down before the menu appears, the menu won't appear until
the mouse is returned to the bar.  On a mac, the menu will always
drop down. (2) Some of the navigation keys are missing from the
File Selection box.  <TAB> on a mac will cycle disks.  I don't remember
whether executor gets this one right or not.  CMD-<up arrow> will
jump to the parent directory on a Mac.

Canvas 2.0 under X crashes with the following error when the cursor is first
moved:
executor: XError `8': BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
X_CreateCursor

It runs OK under SVGALIB, but the cursor is briefly replaced by a 16x16
(or so) black square.  I think Canvas is trying to blank the cursor.
In any event, executor generates an invalid cursor under X in this case.

Finally, Photoshop 3.0.4 still dies with a "Disk error" message
after the message "Measuring memory".  I've tried giving it as
much memory as 64M.

Keep up the good work!
