Hangs XDriver, lots of disk activity, then death of XDriver.

No, unless libG11 is getting confused about clipping for some commands and
not others.

"D.save" - great command - thanks for the tip!  There seems to be a problem
after resize with the arguments to g.region".  Here is the output after
starting the monitor, without displaying anything:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
GRASS:~ > d.save -a
:
# Shell Script created by d.save Thu Dec 13 10:56:27 2001


# Here are the commands to create window: full_screen
d.frame -ec frame=full_screen at=0,100,0,100
d.erase
g.region n=4928000 s=4914000 e=609000 w=590000 nsres=100 ewres=100


d.frame -s frame=full_screen

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Now I do a small (~10% larger) resize and:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
GRASS:~ > d.save -a
:
# Shell Script created by d.save Thu Dec 13 10:56:48 2001


# Here are the commands to create window: full_screen
d.frame -ec frame=full_screen at=0,100,0,100
d.erase
g.region n= s= e= w= nsres= ewres=


d.frame -s frame=full_screen
GRASS:~ >
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Note the arguments to "g.region", blank in the second case.  Neither of
"d.erase" or "g.region -d" fix this.  Is that normal?

The other thing I notice is that the larger the monitor size, the slower the
redraw.  Is that normal?
