What were you trying to do?
	Running xload.

What's wrong:
	Occasionally, xload has gaps in the graph where the load
	would appear to be zero.  (You probably know this.)
	Something more:  If another window is moved above xload,
	and then moved away, then the border underneath the gaps
	appears white.
	This is really weird because the border is controlled by
	my windowmanager (vtwm.gamma), and the border is only
	altered directly underneath the gaps.  An "xrefresh"
	will not clear the highlighted portion of the window
	border, but moving into the window does (as the border
	gets highlighted).

What should have happened:
	xload shouldn't have random gaps.
	Gaps shouldn't discolor portions of the window's borders.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
