I would guess that something might be wrong with the button-press event queue 
in E. (since the problem does not appear in other WM's (ie. fvwm) .. and i 
assume both receive the same X input).

Here are two different test cases (of the scrolling problem, with click-to-raise).

xterm -> the scrolling problem cannot be remedied by any single keystroke that 
i know of .. however, i did discover that holding down alt-tab, the delays are 
eliminated

firefox -> the scrolling delays can be eliminated by single keystrokes .. such 
as an arrow key, or any other, i think

I smell a bug.
