Interesting, as I get the same type of output when I run CrossOver 6.2
for the Mac vice running
Darwine 0.9.48.  I thought the problem might be with Apple's buggy X11,
but it may actually
be the ATI Radeon 9600 that came in my MacBookPro and its drivers. 
Would it be prudent to switch to X.org's X11 and use the above setting
or will this work with
Apple's X11 (I am using MacOSX 10.4.10 and plan on 'upgrading' to
Leopard sometime in the
future, depending on finances.)
