I have just received X for the masscomp and have encountered 2 apparent BUGS. One is that the copy and paste does not seem to work properly between 2 different windows (separate processes). The second is that after compiling a XGCL program that does not load its own colormap, and then running it, entering the window generated by that program causes the screen to go dark as if a mask were applied across the entire screen (it looks as though a masked colormap is being used). Could this possibly have something to do with xterm highlighting?

[...deleted cut and past problem description....] Which release did you install. As far as I know, (using Concurrent's numbering scheme) the most recent version is 1.1. What hardware are you running it on? W've got 1.1 running on a 5520 with a GA-1000 (aurora) display, and cut and paste seem to work properly. > The second is that after compiling a XGCL program > that does not load its own colormap.....[deleted] I've seen the same on a 12 bit plane Aurora (aka GA-1000) and found it distracting, but I didn't have time to persue the issue. (I'm sure it will come back to haunt me.) Right after that, I found that (of course) I could not get the XGCL application to use a remote server, so I shelved that course of action.
