Summary: sidebar broken by X upgrade

Initial Comment:
An upgrade to current X11 (XQuartz) leaves xdvik with missing outlines on sidebar (see whitespace at right around page numbers/options in attached image).
This is xdvik version 22.84.16 (Xaw toolkit)
Libraries: kpathsea version 3.5.7, T1lib version 5.0.1
under Mac OS X 10.5.8; same problem occurs on both Intel laptop and PowerPC desktop.

Message:
If you see the problem again, in editres, use Commands -> Get Tree, then
click on the xdvi window. Click on "Tree -> Select Widget in client" and
click on e.g. the "File" button in xdvi. This should highlight the widget
in editres. Do Commands -> Show Resource Box to view all resources.
Right-click on "borderColor" or "borderWidth" to view the values of these.
You should also be able to edit the values and activate them via "Apply".

Closing the bug for now since it's not reproducible; please reopen if
needed.

No, I can't reproduce the problem on my installation (Linux, X.Org X Server
1.6.5 Release Date: 2009-10-11). I don't have OS X to reproduce ;-)

Message:
I've reverted to X11 version 2.3.1, which fixes the problem -- but
unfortunately leaves me in a position unable to try your tests!  (Are you
able to recreate the problem with xdvi?  One can also try it against xfig,
which is easy to get by macports.) I did some experiments with editres, but
couldn't locate a useful resource to modify.

Oh, and another test:
xdvi -xrm "*.borderWidth: 1" myfile.dvi

Message:
Could be a problem with X resources - what happens if you call xdvi like
this:
xdvi -xrm "*.button.borderColor: black" myfile.dvi
Do you maybe have a tool called 'editres' installed on your system? That
could help with debugging this.
