grass on sgi: monitor problems

[Steve Dzurenko]

Carrie, 

I don't know what causes your problem because I do not know the ins and outs of X-windows.
But I have experienced similar behavior on a DECstation.  If I resize the grass monitor, I
loose the graphics.  The only way to "retain" the image is to redraw it.  At least as far 
as I have figured out.  Unless someone else out there can explain to us why this happens and
suggest a solution, I would just try not to cover your graphics display.  Not much of a 
solution, I know, but I will be listening for a better response along with you.

Good luck!
