Having just read news saying that all Sony Trinitron monitors have
lines along the screen, I was amazed.  I have had a Sony Trinitron on
my workstation for over a year now and I had never seen any lines.
Today I looked very carefully and I saw one.  I played with different
window colors and background colors to see if I had accidentally
picked colors that conceal for my windows.  I found that if you select
windows that are dark shades of green, the line ``disappears'' and
colors closer to blue heighten the line.  I had found out a while ago
that dark green colors were easier on my eyes so that is what I have
been using and thus I couldn't see the line until I looked real
close.  I still can't see it if I have a DarkGreen (X11R4) window.
