Is this on an 8-bit display using colormaps instead of TrueColor?  That's
the only thing I can think of would do that.  We don't do any funny stuff
with colors.  Some of the smearing is from imperfect bounding boxes and the
debugging Xes on text, but it hasn't seemed like a lot to me.

I don't think there's a conflict with 0.90.  I don't know of problems with
XFree 4.2, but I don't have any positive reports either.  That has some
potential for being the problem.
