    The default setting is inconvenient and serves no purpose, so it

    just explained why it's wrong and that I have a program which only
    works if SendEvents are allowed.

    I could play Core Wars by having my program edit the default on
    installation, or use the mad hairy Xt resource setting protocol to
    turn it on on the target xterm, or some such - but that would be daft
    when the default is simply wrong and could be easily changed.

    What reason is there for not changing it ?

    Thomas, meet Ian Jackson. ;-)

    I can mark this bug "wontfix", if you like.

    Okay, fixing that.

    Now that it has your attention, is there anything you'd like to say about
    it? :)
