The xwcreate app creates a graphic window that can be used by starbase.
When running X11 in combine mode on a hp98731 and executing xwcreate
with a depth of 24 ( xwcreate graphwin -depth 24 ) two windows are 
created, the first being a transparent window in the overlay planes
and the second being the 24 depth window in the image planes ( correct
me if this is wrong ).  My question is how come the transparent window
is needed? 

A followup question is how can I create my own 24 depth window using
XCreateWindow with DirectColor?  Do I also need a transparent window?
