050511 -        per evaluation on 041118, ref SDS 86 EM7M, is not improved on
050512 -        re-installation today.  If there are multiple applications open
050513 -        on the desktop, then when clicking from one to the other, there
050514 -        is a delay before keyboard input appears on the screen.  If
050515 -        something is clicked, and nother happens, the user is not sure
050516 -        if a click was actually made, since there is no immediate
050517 -        visible change in the screen.  This causes the user to make a
050518 -        second click.  In some cases, this is reported to the program
050519 -        as a double click which can have a disasterous effect.
050521 -         ..
