I figured it out. Setting the GDI brush color has no effect on the stipple fill; I needed to change the DIB color table instead. That single change makes the X background draw perfectly on startup now! Yippee!! :) I sent the patch in just now. You, and anyone else, can still help a great deal by starting to implement the other operatoins in winFillSpans, winGetSpans, and winSetSpans. Of course, the current operations need to be made more robust and more correct; their current purpose is just to draw the X background and they make a few assumptions related to that to make things easier.
