	I have seen several times when Executor ignores the keyboard.  The keys
show up in the Xterm that I started executor from.  I have no idea why this
occurs.
	I have not seen somethng as moribund as this.  (my mouse has always
worked.)
	This is a problem which has persisted across several versions of
executor and the Linux kernel -- I now use 1.99n and 1.2.8, and it showed
up last night.  Is this possibly window-manager related?
