	 I have the following questions/issues about X11; 
	
	1) Clipping off in a window.

	   I'd like to draw some labels/axes around a window ( called viewport 
	  in a usual graphics world). For that purpose, I tried to change a
	  clip region using XSetClipRectangles, but it only works for within a
	  window. Is there any way to do that?

	2) Rotate text 

	    Mainly for the same reason as the above, we need to rotate the text 
	   in the specified angle, at least vertically as well as horizontally. 

	3) Transparent Window (Overlay window) 

	   How can we make a transparent window using X?
	   Is it possible? 

	4) Recently, I heard about X.V11R3 , but do you know when it'll be
	   distributed? What are the major changes in R3 compared with R2? 
	   

	Those issues are very critical for our applications, so I really 
	appriciate your help. 

	Best Regards,
