I guess I've solved the problem. Gnome sends, just when the
first window has been opened, a XClientMessageEvent for some
'_XIM_PROTOCOL' (something to do with input media and inter-
nationalization) that is addressed to a different window.
Since XForms doesn;t know anything about this window it has
to assume that the program using the library had opened some
window on its own and thus passes the event on, which in
the end results in fl_do_forms() returning a dummy object
that's meant for just such situations (i.e. for programs
that open their own windows and thus deal with the events
these windows receive by themselves). But, of course, no
extra windows had been opened an nothing was expecting this
strange event. I've now changed things that the very first
event sent this way, if it's of the '_XIM_PROTOCOL' kind,
is sikentky discarded. This seems to fix the pro- blem. A
new release with the fix is underway.
