YTalk sometimes pops up questions on the screen (when a new person arrives in the session, for example). Those of us who still fall into the habit of looking at the keyboard as we type sometimes find that the question has been answered by an inadvertent "n" or "y" in whatever we were typing at the time. This is a patch against v3.1.1 which adds the option of making ytalk wait until you press Escape before accepting an answer to such a question. Fix: Patch at http://www.tjd.phlegethon.org/software/ytalk-esc.patch Adds '-E' flag, and equivalent Xresource, to make ytalk ignore what you type at a yes/no question until you press Escape (so it knows it has your attention). (I tried to send this patch to Roger Espel Llima, and got a bot-response saying "I'm afraid I won't have time for technical questions and discussions until I come back from traveling, which should be around june or july 2003." Not very encouraging.)
