Description (last modified by )
trying to move a window or using the twm menu results in a complete deadlock.
killing xpra does not help, the X11 server is hosed and no longer responds.
Looks like an upstream bug.

As I was kindly reminded: in this response, this is not a bug - twm grabs the server, and nothing ever gets a chance to emit the click release event that would cause twm to release the grab.
The only solution that I can think of at this point is to use virtual input devices (uinput, etc - #173) instead of xtest.

Not an xpra bug - lowering priority, this can be reproduced with just dummy + twm:
