Astute, as usual, Guy.  Nonetheless:-), I believe my own observations of,
and workaround for, a problem with similar or identical symptoms was
relevant to the issue at hand, even if hasty in my formulation of a reply.

I've not heard back from the original poster, so I don't know whether
this is in fact his problem.  I have, however, heard from ISC that they
do not observe the behaviour I reported.  I've since reproduced the
reported behaviour at my site under both 1.0.6 and 2.0.2, each running
the 1.0.0 release of the VGA X-Server.  The interested party at ISC
should by now have a complete description of my software configuration
and a short procedure to reproduce the problem.  If I hear anything else,
I'll report back here (names removed to protect the innocent).
