I didn't notice that.  I wonder if that corresponded to the spike
we saw in activity in mid-November?  (Though after I read this, I
went googling for Red Hat and it seems that their release schedule
was such that they had to go with freeglut 1.3.)

Then again, Sourceforge had some problems with their statistics-
gathering around that time I think.  (And our *percentages* didn't
seem to spike up all that much, suggesting that whatever we experienced
may not have been all that special to us.)

I've implemented some GUI sliders in GLUT and they seem to track the mouse
correctly, so this problem is not apparent in UNIX_X11.

I can't comment on WIN32.

None of the demos are particularly sensitive to where you click the
button, so I don't know what others have done for testing on WIN32.
(One or two of the demos *do* track the mouse, but I believe that they
only use relative coords for how you drag the mouse with a button held
down, so that wouldn't test this case.)

My brain hurts!

Right!  It'll have to come out, then!  NURSE!


...sorry, I was afflicted with a childhood case of Monty Python.  Carry on.
