Update Display Problem

[Andreas Höschler]

Hi all,

we have discovered a very ugly SRS-GNUstep related problem which causes 
the display not to be updated correctly, e.g. when popping up a 
combobox and scrolling through the items, or when scrolling through a 
text view or when clicking on items in a container view (actually 
NSView sublcasses on some other NSView subclass). "Display is not 
updated correctly" means that some stuff simply is not drawn.

This problem can't be Solaris related since it does not occur when I 
access the machine via Secure Global Desktop or directly on the 
console. It occurs only when using Sun Rays (Ultra Thin-Client from Sun 
Microsystems). I should normally ask Sun for help but then what should 
I tell them? The problem occurs only with GNUstep apps. The GNOME apps 
coming with the Sun Java Desktop work fine and do not show this effect 
even on Sun Rays. I doubt that Sun cares very much whether GUstep apps 
work together with their Sun Ray Server Software.

So what might cause this problem? Has anybody else seen this? I assume 
it's something in back...

This is really becoming a show stopper for us and we have no clue.

Any hints are greatly appreciated!

Thanks a lot in advance!

Regards,

  Andreas
