[comp.windows.x] 2 X questions

Hi,
I have just installed X11R3 on a Sun 3/280, to be run from a number of 
diskless Sun 3/60 workstations.  We are running SunOS 4.0.1, and I have 
not yet applied any of the X patches.

I have two questions:

	I specified UseSunWindowsInServer in my imake Sun.macros.
	This works, but the interaction is not very smooth.  For
	example, pulling down a menu (from uwm) which obscures part
	of a SunView tool works, but when an item is selected, the
	background is re-displayed instead of the suntool.  I can
	live with this, but would like to hear if anybody has made
	an effort to clean up this interaction.

	I would like to use gcc, in an effort to improve performance
	(which is not bad, but the faster the better).  It seems that
	gcc picks the wrong "SIZEOF(x)" macro in Xmd.h, causing the
	make to fail.  Before I go changing the X source, I would 
	like to hear from anyone who encountered this problem when
	converting to gcc.

Thanks,
Richard
