Am I doing something wrong?  When I use xsetroot (or xphoon which is 
really cool BTW) to change my root window on my DECstation 3100 
the new image doesn't appear until after an expose event.  I.e. when
I iconify a window, the new image appears underneath, but the old image
remains in the rest of the exposed root window.  Is there a simple way
to send an expose event to the whole root window or something?

If someone could email me a clue I'd appreciate it.  I'm going out of 
town for a while and I would probably miss a reply posted in the news.

Thanks.
