Darn, I didn't think you'd take me up on it!

This isn't really a bug in VisAD, but a problem with X which
is being tickled by either AWT, Swing or Java3D (since anything
VisAD sends to the screen is done through one of those APIs.)

Most versions of the JDK from Sun also contain a list of
required OS patches.  You (or your sysadmin) should make sure
that all the required patches have been applied.
