Hm, any suggestion as to which entry? Everything is set to
the defaults. Same on both systems. No problem on the 6x86
platform.

Thanks; found an entry:
Whatever.resource True\n
that I changed to
Whatever.resource true\n
The other boolean variables were all lowercase. I remember
this warning from years ago. A day or so ago I checked every
File in my ${X11LIB}/app-defaults/ and didn't see anything.
I missed ~/.Xresources files. You may have cleared up a
mystery... :-)
Anyhow, back to the W32 problem, one of the XFree86 people
tells me that the W32 server has known flaws. ((I read some
of them. This one may not have been reported until now.))
So: waiting for more information. This bug looks unrelated
to anything in 2.2.6. Dunno... .
thanks for your input,
gary
