See if the app runs as non-root (no prior use > of the application - no stale personal configuration files, rules out a > permissions issue). See my comment above. As we now know it functions correctly for 'root' but does not run as a 'new-non-root-user' it is most probably a permissions issue. Next questions to ask are: What has changed related to 'user' and X permissions between Beowulf and Chimera. Why does this one App misbehave when others don't. NB. If it was a hardware problem the mouse wouldn't work for 'any' user or any part of the GUI rather than just one App.
