	I am running X11 R3 on a GPX running Ultrix.  When I use the 
     xsetroot -bitmap for a full screen bitmap (such as fullmoon.gpx, etc.)
     the bitmap will never come up.  However, if I kill the window manager
     (uwm) it will come up within a minute or so.  Also, in order to kill
     the window manager, I have to remote login because all processing
     comes to a complete halt.  Nothing else on the screen runs while I
     am waiting for the bitmap to come up.
	Once the window manager is killed, and the bitmap comes up, I restore
     the window manager, and everything works great from then on...

	Is this a known bug, or has anyone had this problem before (and 
     solved it ?).

	Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me.
