Hi netters.  We discovered a not so wonderful "feature" after installing SR10.3 on 6 of our new 400t nodes.  When we are running an X application, such as Motif, HP Vue, or Framemaker, we get a little colored rectangle in the upper left hand corner of the screen.  It seems that the more you work, the longer the rectangle gets, and it also will change colors, from neon green to hot pink to dark blue.  I called HPollo and after some runaround ("there's probably something wrong with the node -- reboot" ["all 



6 of them??] "it's probably a problem with the monitor" [all six brand new monitors??] :-( ), they finally conceded that there was a bug in the colormap. They are going to apr it.  In the meantime, has anyone out there discovered this "feature" and found a temporary fix or workaround?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks and Happy Holidays.
