The mouse issues with the grabber. See here: http://www.allegro.cc/ 
forums/view_thread.php?_id=498239
I do believe they were fixed, I was just doing a test to make sure  
that they, effectively, worked correctly.

Okay. I don't recall seeing any mail on the AD list about it, but  
then again I haven't been following too close lately.

I didn't do a make depend -- simple case of RTFM; but then again I  
didn't realize that compiling via CVS was different than an official  
release. Not doing the depend was the cause of all those issues. I'll  
be playing around with the new build. I'm guessing you probably won't  
hear from me as the stuff I'm testing should work out fine. :)
