  I wonder if this is the same thing which causes xterm to repaint itself
when you do a mouse mark selection?  The funny thing about this is that
xterm doesn't do it all the time.  So far I've been completely unable to
come up with a sequence of events that will cause this behavior
reliably.  Unfortunately it happens a LOT.  This makes marking selections
on my GraphOn a real pain since all those bits have to flow down a low
bandwidth pipe ...
