[Xastir] CVS install on Fedora12 - R click errors

[ka7o at ka7o.net]

OK, I'm stumped.

Desktop - a Dell of some flavor. Fully updated Fedora 12 via yum. Clean
Xastir install from CVS - R click menus work fine. No problems at all.

Laptop - HP of another flavor. Fully updated Fedora 12 via yum. Clean
Xastir install from CVS (I even deleted th ~/.xastir directory and started
fresh. STILL has the R-click problem. No menus show up. Arrow changes
direction - can not regain focus or use the mouse cursor outside the
Xastir box. I even went back and updated all the 'tar ball' stuff as
described in the Installation Notes/HowTo: for Fedora.
http://www.xastir.org/wiki/index.php/HowTo:Fedora

But, now I have two - nearly identical boxes - one with the problem, one
without. Something's gotta be different here. Anyone wanna guide me
through discovery?

AIM (kc7zru) or YahooChat (ntstate)
