Sorry this didn't solve JS's problem, but it solved a highly annoying problem
on an instrumentation application I wrote.  The application worked fine with
XFree86.3.3.6 but with later versions, waveform plots drawn using XDrawLine
would be wiped clean if covered by another window.  I hate to think of the time
I spent attempting to solve this problem.
 
Excessive thanks, Mark!

<pre>   Maybe your app is expecting backing store.  You can start XFree86
with backing store &quot;startx -- +bs&quot;.

&gt; Hi,
&gt; 
&gt; I have an application which has some boxes in the window. The window itself
&gt; is scrollable. When I scroll down -  no problem, but when I scroll up the
&gt; boxes turn into long vertical bars. This problem doesn't happen with Exceed,
&gt; but on XFree86 (both Linux XFree86 and Cygwin-XFree) it does.
&gt; 
&gt; Can anyone advise me whether this is a bug, or is there some setting I need
&gt; to add? Let me know if you need anymore information.
&gt; 
&gt; Thanks for any help.
&gt; 
&gt; JS.
