What were you trying to do?

	I started up dash to see how much override-redirect gunk it's doing.

What's wrong:

	It seems to screw up the fonts.  For example, the letter `g'
will not display in any of the menus.  I do not have any dash X
resources, so whatever is there is the default.  I do have
`*reverseVideo: on' and dash comes up in reverse video, but that's
probably not relevant.  I am running vtwm.gamma.  I moved the logout
button a bit, and the bitmap got munged.

What should have happened:

	I can't tell offhand whether this is on X server problem or a
dash problem.  It would be nice if the text in the dash menus didn't
look like a kidnapper's note.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:

	dash(1)
