According to Malte Lance:

	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
