We upgraded our workstations to 4.0B several months ago. Since that, we
have been experiencing strange drawing problems, which I will do my best
to explain. We use window-managers such as fvwm, afterstep, and twm. In
twm, the text in the pop-up menus doesn't appear until you drag the
pointer down the menu. In the other WMs, window borders don't get
re-drawn when you move a window forward that is in the background. There
are also some other miscellaneous problems, like the hands of xclock
don't always get filled in. We tried recompiling stuff and messing with
backing store but have had absolutely no luck. The problem does not
occur on our NCD X-terminals. I don't think it happens in the CDE
either. The workstations in question are various DEC 3000 models. On
some of them we have patch kit #6 installed. Technical support couldn't
help. Any ideas?
