Welcome to the new world order ;)  And thanks for XRN; I have fond
memories of it.

Does XRN do this, or is it handled automatically by Xaw?  Which events
does it need to do this (I assume just Enter/LeaveNotify)?  I can't
think of a reason why you wouldn't be getting them under GNOME+Metacity,
but who knows.

Again, if anything were eating those events, it would be Metacity.  Does
the problem still happen if you keep using a GNOME session but with a
different window manager?

Gnome-settings-daemon changes some X resources, but I don't think they
would affect your mouse bindings.  You may want to grep around the
sources for gnome-settings-daemon (it lives in the gnome-control-center
module) to see if it's doing anything weird.
