[Xquartz-dev] 2.3.2_rc4 - Window drawing weirdness

[Jeremy Huddleston]

I wonder if this has to do with the updated window layer code... can  
you open a ticket on this issue at http://xquartz.macosforge.org

What wm are you using?

The dragging issue seems weird.  I have not seen that at all.  is your  
WM using libXdamage?
