under X11R2 on a (black and white) microvax 2:

XDrawRectangle(display, drawable, gc, x, y, w, h) draws a rectangle defined
by the coordinates (x,y)  (x+w,y)  (x+w,y+h)  (x,y+h)

while

XFillRectangle(display, drawable, gc, x, y, w, h) fills a rectangle defined
by the coordinates (x,y)  (x+w-1,y)  (x+w-1,y+h-1)  (x,y+h-1)

the manual (Xlib - C Library, pp 83 and 86) say that both functions
should be behaving in the first manner.  they aren't.  in addition, my
programming religion tells me that they *should* both be behaving in
the second manner anyway.

how do other devices' servers handle these functions?  is this more
consistent under X11R3?
