Two things:

Instead of Xor, try GXinvert. It works for me, anyway.

Also, set subwindow_mode to IncludeInferiors.
This way, your rubberband line will draw on top of any child windows
of the root. Remember that a window manager may place a "pseudo" root
window between you and the real root window.

Oh, and finally, set line width to 0. This tells the server to use any available
line drawing acceleration. Does wonders for the VAXstation II/GPX lines.
