You might be on to something, though. I started up the IRIX window
manager, 4Dwm. Most of my windows then had the standard MS-Windows
frame, and within that, the Motif-style window manager
decorations/frame. If I made a plot using Tekplot, and moved the plot
window around when it initially had the MS-Windows frame around it, then
the window would redraw once. At that time the "extra" MS-Windows style
frame would disappear, and the only remaining frame was the 4Dwm frame.
At that point, nothing I could do seemed to cause a redraww of the plot
window. I'm using rxvt. Now, I'm wondering if I ought to use only native
X-windows apps, xterms, etc.

I'd also like to be able to start up Xwin with NO window manager, if I
can start one up on the remote machine (like 4Dwm on the remote IRIX
machine). Is that possible? Which window manager starts up when the X
server is started up on the local PC?
