Ken, all that needs to be done to fix this is to link xdiscuss against
the new Xaw library. However, the xdsc sources (at least the ones in
sipbsrc) are old enough that this would be difficult (header file name
differences and such, and probably worse differences than that in the
code body).
I guess it's up to you to decide whether or not fixing this is worth
the effort, especially with sao working on another X discuss client.

System name: RAR

Display type: QVSS
What were you trying to do?
Trying to scroll a window that happened to be partially behind
another window.
What's wrong:
If you scroll up (or down) in a window that is under another
window, the data that is scrolled up (or down) is blanked out.
What should have happened:
The data should be displayed.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
First submitted as a bug in Sept, 1988. I was told that it
was going to be fixed in the next release, but it is still with us.
To demostrate:
Start up a window with scroll bars (I used xdiscuss with the
INFO-MAC meeting). Stretch the window so that it goes from the top of
the screen to the bottm. Start up a new application (e.g. emacs) with
the window overlaying the xdiscuss one. Use the scroll bars on the
xdiscuss window. Scroll up or down and see thw words disappear.
