I am looking fro help on and ood odd bug I experienced when trying to
work interactively with surfaces, both in isurface and surface(). When
I click on the scene, anywhere, the only thing that gets selected is
the z axis. Even if I select something else, through the visualization
browser, when I try to move it around, or change its properties, it
reverts to selecting the axis. This keeps me from, for instance,
selecting the surface, zooming, or moving the lights around.

It seems to be due to the interaction with the X server: It happens
locally on one computer, but it does not happen if I access that same
computer through SSH. And if use that computer to access another
(where there are no problems locally), the problem also happens. So it
seems that it is all due to the interaction with that particular X
server. Which is also odd because the two computers are so similar. I
am the one who installed and set up both of them. Both have IDL 8.0.1,
on Fedora on x86_64. The one with the problem is Fedora 13, with X
server xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.8.0-12.fc13.x86_64. The one where no
problems happen locally is Fedora 12 with X server xorg-x11-server-
Xorg-1.7.1-7.fc12.x86_64.

Later I will try this locally on another F13 computer.

I think we are using the term loosely around here. ;-)
