[gentoo-user] text in xterm

[James <jtp@nc.rr.com>]

Folks,

I have an interesting problem -- not sure what's causing it.

Using xfce4 + compiz -- nothing too fancy. When I open an xterm and
start typing, I start getting 'artifacts' (specifically green lines
between the various letters I'm trying) in my xterm.

The only way to "fix" this is to either:

(a) move the window (doesn't solve the problem if I start typing again
in the terminal)
(b) resize the window (this will solve the problem for all text
present and future entered in terminal)
(c) ...uhmm, nothing else

I thought it was a font size problem -- my Xdefaults is configured to
have some pretty tiny fonts.

XTerm*faceName: Monospace
XTerm*faceSize: 10
!XTerm*faceSize: 9

Modifying the font size, however, did not resolve the issue. The
problem persists.

Thoughts / ideas? This is happening on all the computers I've recently
built, not just this one.
