- This doesn't seem to me to be exactly right -- If you click on a button on an
- application that has FRAME_BUSY, the event still has to be handled.

- I'm using OW2 and I find that if I set FRAME_BUSY, do some other code, that
- the X server is locked up, i.e., no other window will get an event if I click
- on a FRAME_BUSY window. If I don't do a click on a FRAME_BUSY window,
- everything is fine. Of course, all this plays havoc in a development
- environment. You have to have a serial terminal or something to do some
- process killing.
