I have also noticed some GUI glitches with 1.17. None of these
exist in 1.16. My environment is WindowMaker on RedHat 5.2.
1) Button-clicks sometimes leave a button "depressed". You have to
click it a second time to complete the click. No workaround.
2) When a Frame or Window is set to resizable(false), it does not
paint until moved by the window manager or resized. There is an
ugly code hack to fix this, but it causes the window to flash on
startup.
