Has anyone had this problem?...When upgrading to ULTRIX V4.0 with
DECwindows, xsetroot no longer works properly. Whereas before 

  xsetroot -bitmap xxx.bit &

in the ~/.X11Startup file gave me a customized root window, now
it only sets the hidden sections of the root window (ie. that which is
behind the Icon Box and the DECTerms).

Has anyone found and/or fixed this behaviour? I have tried moving
the xsetroot command to the .login and to the session manager Autostart
box---with no effect.
