I think postnews ate my last posting. Here it is again (what I can remember of it, anyway). 1. Has anyone noticed a broken auto-repeat on their Sun since applying patches 71-80? I'm more reluctant to call this a bug in X after #68. 2. I have a pretty good idea why color information isn't available for window background/foreground and border, but it's still a PAIN IN THE ASS. How is one supposed to write an application that adds gadgets to a window with the same color attributes? Is there some way of doing this with colormaps? For example, If a person has a green and red (yeech) window, he'll expect a green/red title bar, no? If the answer to this question is a flat "No", how about telling me how or if this question is going to be addressed? Thanks. Jordan Hubbard dana!jkh@hplabs.hp.com

I'm more reluctant to call this a bug in X after #68. jordan, how broken do you mean? every now and then i don't get autorepeat when i hold down a key. this is usually associated with furious typing. however, releasing the key and depressing it again has always invoked the autorepeat so i haven't gotten too concerned about it, especially since the new sun-3 keyboards beep at you and drop characters sometimes when typing quickly. does autorepeat not work at all for you? then again i'm running 3.4 and you're running 3.2... any other 3.2 sites experiencing the same problem? --bw

You are right, the foreground and background pixel are not in
the struct XWindowAttributes.
However they are in the server struct WindowRec:
...
PixmapPtr backgroundTile;
unsigned long backgroundPixel;
PixmapPtr borderTile;
unsigned long borderPixel;
...
Still I see no macros in Xlib that get at these values.
Good luck.
