Subject: Re: backlight issue

I've written a logger stub header and a file logger implementation for the Windows simulator, but as it's all standard C no reason it couldn't be used for the X11; on the other hand stderr is as good a a log file or better as it's unbuffered.

My next project is to write a logger implementation that writes to a GUI window (I'll probably use the scintila control, as it compiles under both Windows and GTK).


BTW, my initial logging shows that get_real_button (? I don't have the source in front of me) does return the correct button presses, so I'm at a loss as to why the button press isn't doing what it should do. Anybody have a hint for me?
