Multiwindow mode problem with Mozilla/Phoenix on Solaris

Rob,

Welcome to the world of threads.  The clipboard manager and window 
manager run in their own threads within the X Server process... there is 
likely to be a bug in one of those modules or in the supporting modules.

I have no idea which module actually contains the bug at this point.

How prepared are you to help with debugging?  I mean, you are in the CS 
department at Stanford, so I would expect that you can help us quite a 
bit, no?  :)
