    if you draw two filled circles, (complementary, in opposite colors), as
    the boundary moves, you get leftover dots.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying, perhaps you could provide
a simple code example?

    By the way, are said pixelation rules different/better in X11R4 than X11R3?

The R4 server is believed to do arcs correctly (well, it actually is rather
difficult to do the straight-line Pie/Chord edges exactly, but we come very
close), at least a server using strictly the cfb/mfb/mi code.  I can't say
about other ddx implementations.

    We don't have R4 yet (from HP), so I was kind of hoping the problem was
    at least reduced???

I can't speak for the correctness of HP's ddx layer, I haven't analyzed it.
