And I'd caution that (in my experience) this is not specifically an X11
issue, indeed the two times I tripped myself up with this were on WinXP
boxes, and a colleague here also tripped over this on WinXP-embedded.

So WinXP doesn't do this robustly either (indeed, we found that it was
*very* sensitive to which graphics card and driver were used.)

Now, I just don't go anywhere near there, it doesn't work portably
across machines of the "same" OS, let alone across platforms...
