Sorry that I am responding so late.

Yes, I was very confused.  I stupidly made the assumption that window
managers and xrefresh used XSendEvent on all the visible windows. 
Unfortunately, this is not the case.  So, I've rewritten xrefresh to do
this.  Of course, I had to keep around the previous method it used to
redraw the screen, to deal with programs that throw away Send Events
(such as xterm).   After about a week or two of testing I hope to post a
patch.

Thanks for your help.
