[comp.emacs] Epoch 3.2 and X11R4

I apologize if this has been asked before.
I have successfully compiled and installed Epoch 3.2 and X11R4 with
Thomas Roell's patches on ISC 386/ix 2.0.2.

While everything seems to work fine, I have encountered one problem.
If the minibuffer is overlapped by editing window (screen), and if I move
the cursor into the minibuffer, the minibuffer window will flash and
the editing window maps itself over the minibuffer.  Therefore, I can
never expose the minibuffer if a portion of it is overlapped by an
editing window.  This doesn't happen with two editing window
overlapping each other.  If I move the cursor into one window, it is
exposed over the other one.

It's almost as if when minibuffer is exposed, the editing window
receives the same treatment by the window manager, although that's not
what is supposed to happen. 

I am using X11R4 with Roell's patch mentioned above and with twm.

Any e-mail or post reply is greatly appreciated.
