[Xquartz-dev] 1.4.2-apple20 -- ghosts!

Sat Oct 25 13:15:46 PDT 2008

I wonder if this is related to the "strange white rectangles" issue...  
somehow we're mapping windows in quartz, but the corresponding X11  
window isn't mapped in X11, so the window contents we're dumping is  
empty...

hmm... I have a feeling this one's going to be a pain =/
