Since we seemed to be having the same problem, I applied your patch to the
X libsun file "text.c".  It seemed to take care of that specific problem just
fine, but it introduced lots more problems.  For example, when you move the
cursor now you get little dots trailing after it.  This may related to the
"mouse droppings" problem discussed earlier on this bboard.  I'll have to
take a look through my bboard archives (which I just wrote to tape this
morning!).  Also, the display has lots (and I mean LOTS!) of horizontal lines
all over it.  Basically, this new version of the X server was totally unusable
because of all of these other problems so I backed off the changes.

Have you tried this locally?  Has anyone else tried this change?  Any I
imagining  things?
