pmax 7.2 & sun-4: x11r4 problems (twm, XmuCvtStringToBackingStore)

My X server is the Sun-4 version built from Athena's copy of the X11R4
sources.  I'm using twm, also built from those sources.  The client
machine is jellicle, a pmax running 7.2.

(1) XmuCvtStringToBackingStore will convert "default" to
Always+WhenMapped+NotUseful.  This appears to generate errors from the
X server.  (It also drags in about 240K of code and data into a
program -- zwgc -- that isn't otherwise using Xmu or Xt.  Will X11R5
cut this down a bit?  A lot?)

(2) When I move a window that is not obscured by any other, so that it
is in front of another window which I (most?) recently raised, the
window appears to get moved before it is raised; this results in the
program having to repaint that portion of the window, even though it
never needed to be obscured.  Is it possible to move and raise a
window at the same time?
