I've built X several times now, with a copy on tape from GNU, and more
recently downloaded from gateway.dec.com.  On multiple tries of both
copies, with cc or gcc, it has built without errors.  However, there is
a serious runtime bug that I can't get rid of: when I run any X program,
even an initial xinit as shown in the docs, the mouse cursor often
"right-shifts" whatever is underneath it.  It mainly seems to happen on
edges; on a right edge, the area under the mouse cursor gets moved
right, onto the background, and on a left edge the background gets moved
on top.  It doesn't seem to matter what type of mouse cursor is in use,
although the "denser" it is, the more material it seems to displace.

I'm getting desperate!

-Roger
