Not so; I have been using both since dmouse came out with no problems
whatsoever.  Of course, I specified an alternate modifier (-R0040, for
left-Amiga key) for the right mousebutton push-to-back, to avoid conflicts with
wIconify.  Have you specified a -R for dmouse?  Maybe there is some wierd
interaction between dmouse and wIconify both trying to eat the left-right
click?  I still haven't got a C compiler, so I only know from a few readings of
the RKM, but if both dmouse and wIconify pass the mouseclick events along the
input stream, there may be some wierd contention.  On the other hand, I'm just
intuiting (<--coined) and really don't know what I'm talking about.


Be seeing you...
