By default, IDL doesn't retain window contents. You can change this behavior
by adding a line for "idl*retain" in your .Xdefaults (or equivalent) file.
Mine .Xdefaults has the line...

idl*retain: 1

If you X server doesn't have it own backing store (old low-memory X terminals)
IDL can supply its own backing store if you specify and idl*retain of 2.

Anyone know if there's an idl*decomposed keyword? :)
