[lug] console bleed on the desktop

[Rick Casey]

I have this same problem. I just upgraded my hardware this year to the
latest video card (32 M ram), new CPU box. How can the X11 server be bad
if it came as part of RH 6.2? Are the xterm programs still under
development?

The bleeding lines seem to occur at specific instances, more like it's
related to how the xterm's handle displays; which, logically, does not
seem solvable by a video reconfiguration.

Any more ideas on a fix appreciated!
