... what do people generally use for circles in X?  On the Xerox Altos,
the Draw program made a nice circle using a closed spline with 8
control points.  Using X, I have to use a lot more than 8 for it to
really look like a circle and even then, it's a pretty ugly circle; I
think using lines segments looks nicer than XDraw splines.  What type
of splines does XDraw use for VertexCurved vertices?
