Belated Thanks. Slow repainting of title bar in a 'move' or 'resize'.

[CL]

Belated thanks to H. F. "Alex" Alexander, Jr. and Roger Felts who responded
to my post "RE: Looking for Java viewer for IEv3.02 browser for Win95", and
Paul Tesch who responded to my post "Re: Grey display on Browser connected
to VNCserver running on Caldera1.3".

Over the weekend I did get my Windows 95 IE3.02 browser working with the
vncserver running on Linux kernel 2.0.35. It's really cool. I can run
Perl/Tk tutorial programs and the button widgets display OK in the browser
window. With kwm and a solid blue background, the overall response of the
xterm screen is decent, except maybe the scrollbar whose repaint response
is marginal. But the most unacceptable aspect is the title bar (solid
orange color) repaint when a move or resize is attempted - both for the
xterm and for any displayed widget. In a first pass, the title bar is first
repainted one 'squre' at a time, the square being painted top-to-bottom and
repeated left to right across the title bar. Then repaint for the rest of
the widget takes place, not fast, but decently OK. ( I do have some reason
to believe that my 10Mbps ethernet connection between Windows PC and Linux
PC is not at rated speed although I have not yet been able to figure out
why, after swapping out various Netgear, Linksys, 3Com, and Intel cards - I
now have the Intel ISA EtherExpress Pro 10+ card). But it doesn't seem
logical why the title bar repaint is so much slower than the rest of the
repaint - even if I have a slow connection. Wonder if anyone else has a
similar experience.
Appreciatingly,
