I am currently writing a simple program that uses 2 windows.
I have queued both Mouse valuators (MOUSEX and MOUSEY) and
LEFTMOUSE. In one window I am concerned with only the cursor
position and therefore react to a MOUSEX and MOUSEY event. In
the next window I have a slidebar which requires all three
devices so I tie them together with:-

    tie(LEFTMOUSE,MOUSEX,MOUSEY);

So, my slidebar works fine. Then I untie the valuators when I
switch back to the first window and I notice that both MOUSEX
and MOUSEY events are no longer on the event queue. I read the
man on tie and there is no mention that untying valuators removes
them from the event queue. Is that the way it is suppossed to be?
