After selecting "Use plain X bitmaps" within "Custom Settings" I still see 
"Blank" XDRIVER Windows for my Raster Images...  As before d.rast reaches 
100% too fast and Raster Files are NOT "Visible", which I always assumed 
was due to no image data actually being transfered from the Remote Host???

Current Specifics:
-----------------
Client [Windows XP SP3]: 3.4.0-5
Server [CentOS 4.8]: (Client: 3.4.0-5, Node: 3.4.0-6, Server: 3.4.0-8)
GRASS [6.2.3]: Built from Source Code

Although I can use 3.X Clients, once the Server has been upgraded to 3.X 
executing d.rast with the XDRIVER Window will again produce "Blank" Raster 
Images???

NOTE: Other combinations involving NX 3.X have always produced the same
       "Problem", it does NOT appeared to be limited to the above mentioned
       specifics...
