 I installed tkinter on a Joyride 2137 machine so that I could run IDLE.

 On opening IDLE, a trackpad movement and click doesn't move the insertion
 point, nor does click and drag select text. Moving the insertion point
 with the arrow keys and selecting text by shift/moving works. Right click
 works, bringing up a 'go to' tool tip.

 So left click seem to be getting lost. This would seem to be a symptom of
 some underlying wonkiness. I suspect that this  same behavior would occur
 in other X applications.

 This works properly in 708.

 Notes to help duplicate my situation:

 To install tkinter (needed for IDLE):

 {{{
 su
 yum install tkinter
 exit
 }}}


 To run IDLE:
 {{{
 cd /usr/lib/python2.5/idlelib
 python idle.py
 }}}
