Marty,

Can you tell me if the 32 bit binary performs the same as the 64 bit binary?

I have been trying to duplicate your trouble using the Garp from
the 5.10.3 binary distribution under FC7 and have not yet seen
the problem you show.

You should probably try the 5.10.3 distribution 64 and 32 bit binaries to see if
that makes a difference. The 5.10.2 binaries were compiled using
FC4 and FC5, while the newer 5.10.3 are FC7 and FC5 for 32bit and
64 bit respectively.

There has been a bit or transition in the Xext, Xmu and Xft library dependencies
of Motif, so the 32 bit binary from 5.10.3 would be the best starting point
to see if that works better with your FC7 environment.
