Subject: Strangeness with xcalc, xclipboard after X11R4.18 dist. build

Hello, I've just built X11R4 on an Alliant FX8/A with patches 1-18 applied to
the distribution as a whole.  Everything seems to have worked fine, I can run
twm, xterm and several other clients with no problems, but both xcalc and
xclipboard behave strangely.  In xcalc, the individual buttons and display
are not visible.  Instead, a single large rectangle with a 0 and a g take up
most of the display, with a partially obscured rectangle visible to the right
of the main rectangle.  If the mouse is clicked within the main rectangle, a
rectangular region within the main rectangle is inverted for the duration of
the mouse click, said region including the 0 but not the g.

Keyboard input does not visibly affect the xcalc display in any way.

I understand this points to an error in the build of one of the widget sets,
but if this has happened to anyone else, I'd appreciate hearing about it to
narrow my search.

Thank you much for any leads,

Jonathan Abbey
