Displaying plots on X-terminals: backing pixmap doesn't get set? [message #995]

Hi,

I use a Visual TX100M X-terminal (currently with 2-Meg memory) sometimes to
display IDL plots, and for some reason, the backing pixmap does not get set.
So whenever I cover/uncover the plot window, the covered part comes out
blank. It gets rather annoying when one is trying to build up a complicated
plot. I would appreciate any suggestions/hints to avoid this problem.

I have the same problem with ghostview, but that I can live with.

terminal windows, clocks, xload, etc., do NOT exhibit this problem. i.e.,
when I cover an xterm window with another and uncover it, I can still see all
the stuff that was covered.

Please email, I will post a summary.
