Hello,

I have a problem with the XCopyArea call of Xlib:
Does this function support Tiling and Stippling?
In my program I create a Pixmap looking like
	.X.X
	X.X.
	.X.X
	X.X.
using XCreatePixmapFromBitmapData(), get a "default" GC with
XCreateGC, but with a PlaneMask of AllPlanes and with a FillStyle
of FillStippled. I then XSetStipple() this GC with the tiling pixmap
and do XCopyArea() a Pixmap (containing a symbol) to another. Later
in the program I do XCopyArea the later Pixmap into a window,
using the server's DefaultGC, but the symbol is shown solid instead
of stippled.
  If I draw a string with the "stippleGC", everything works right and
looks like I think it should. Same with XFillRectangle() - everything
is fine!
  Any hints would be appreciated.
  I'm using X.V11R3 with all 10 patches and the Perdue speedups in,
running on a mVax II with qvss display. Everything compiled with gcc-1.31.

Thanks in advance
	\Maex
