This is not the official word, but as I understand it, there is a patch
available for V4.1.  That is, the problem is not fixed in V4.1, but is
fixed in a patch for that release.  I suggest that you contact your Digital
representative and ask them to find the patch.  If they have trouble, you
can give them my mail address (Daniels @ bigred @ vaxmail, if they use
ALL-IN-1), and I will try to put them in touch with the right people.

Again, I want to stress that I am not 100% positive the patch is in fact
available, but that I recall being told of a patch to Xcfb which I believe
addresses this problem.  If I learn that I am mistaken, I will post the
"official" status when I get it.  You should contact your local rep and
ask them to look into it.
