Indeed backgroundPixmap has a "gradient", and I can make the symptoms move by tweaking the values of the gradient. > This may happen because menu entries are painted with a xor gc, and the > effect is more visible if you are running at 8bpp. AFAICT, I'm running 16bpp (pardon the ignorance, but how would I confirm this?). I take it that means it would be expected to be worse at 8bpp? > If this is the case, you can add: > XTerm*SimpleMenu.backgroundPixmap: XtUnspecifiedPixmap > to your $HOME/.Xdefaults Yes, using editres to change the backgroundPixmap value to XtUnspecifiedPixmap makes the symptoms go away. Is this a bug? If so, in what? FWIW, I've just reproduced it with the stock trident_drv.o in 4.2, so I figure it's not to be blamed on the trident_drv.o from http://www.xfree86.org/~alanh Thanks, Neale. _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
