Hi,

Apparently this is a general issue with X-Servers which not only occurs
under Tru64 Unix. Below's an answer from Bryan Lavelle at Compaq. So the
only thing we can do is to hope that Joe Fletchers case with Compaq has
some outcome in the near future and that we all can benefit from it.

Thanks to all who replied to my posting and thanks to Bryan Lavelle
for again clarifying that.
