We've been looking into this, but not hard enough to have fixed it yet.
Basically, x-ray uses XDrawFilled and XDrawTiled to fill in the Radio-Button
boxes (for example) and it doesn't work properly on the sun.  Lately, I've
been able to crash the sun X-server with a particular XDrawTiled I'm working
on.  The problem is located in the Xserver code on the sun, not in X-ray.

Before we put any major effort into fixing it, has someone else found
the cure?
