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!
