GRASS X monitors

[John Cartwright]

Yes,

we ran into a similar problem and came up with a fix that seemed to solve our
problem but reportedly did not work in all cases.

If you look in $GISBASE/src/display/devices/XDRIVER/XDRIVER/Graph_Set.c you
should see a comment on about line 80 describing the one-line fix that we used.

Cheers!
