No, my own program, but... hmm... now that you mention it.  It's
interesting that almost every problem I've found in my code has been
reported at some point as a bug in Netscape as well.  Most of them are my
errors, but it makes me feel a little better knowing that I'm not the only
one who isn't always careful about calling Xlib functions without proper
display locking.... ;-)

I'm actually seeing the thing not update the window, then when you click
over to another one, and click back, the thing (most of the time) updates.

No, using Xpmac, from 3.3.6 XFree.
