Same thing here ;-)

I once opened a PR for this problem, but I don't find it anymore.

It seems to occur only with KDE (or may be other environments, I haven't
try): with the good old xinit/twm (do you remember? ;-), xfig works
like a charm.

The problem is very old, i.e. predate the WITH_NEW_XORG=yes, and occurred
on vanilla -release as well as -current.

The only workaround I found was to recompile without XAW_3D, which
involves some configured (I)Makefile modification.
