Randall, if you are finishing your thesis, you probably do not have time to try
any tricks with the X11 options etc., but in case you already know your way
around X11, here is something I noticed.
My objects graphics code, working well in idlde (version 6.0), was choking
when I ran it in the VM. It would render the main window and the background
plus one button widget but nothing more. I then started up X11 with -depth 8
and the VM rendered one more object (an IDLgrModel object) before choking
again. Maybe that gives a clue about how to get into the X11 programming
and track down the trouble.
But I have other things to do than dig into that tangle! Keep working on that
thesis!!

As far as I know, this problem has been logged as a bug in IDL 5.6se.
Unfortunately, there is no real fix. You can disable hardware rendering
as suggested earlier in this thread, but there are still other X11-IDL
quirks when working with object graphics. I am running 10.3.x + Apple X11
and do not know if 10.2.x + Apple X11beta works any better.
With luck, there will be an IDL 6.1 student version...
Cheers,
Randall
