I am encountering an annoying problem using the cursor command in IDL
8 on Lion.
Enter "cursor,xxx,yyy,/wait" in the command line, and clicking on the
window does nothing. The cursor routine never seems to recognize the
clicking of my mouse (e.g., the "IDL>" prompt appears in italic
font). I have to hit CTRL-C then click to get the cursor routine to
release control (and the "IDL>" prompt then appears in roman font
again).
Any insights to offer?

Oops,
A bit of reinventing the wheel. Must read threads carefully before
commenting!

I have seen this behavior and worked around it by setting option
"Click-through Inactive Windows"
in the Windows tab of X11 Preferences.
