On a related note, I sometimes get an empty menu on the VR3. Reopening the
menu fixes it. Unfortuneately it seems to be a fairly random occurance.

This problem still seems to appear, but it is quite hard to reproduce.

I am using basically the same code as Fr�d�ric, and the menu shows up
sometimes OK, sometimes mangled. I have not been able to find a proper way
to trigger the effect, other that running pgboard, running the attached
program, and going into a sequence of:

1) Click on the "Tab" key on the virtual keyboard
2) Click on the "Space" key on the virtual keyboard
3) If the menu shows up normally, select an option and go back to 1)

I have tried to put 'sleep()'s in various places in the code, as well as
creating a huge load on my machine, but nothing seems to affect the
problem.

On our platform (much slower than my development machine), however,
the attached program with pgboard generates a mangled menu pretty much
every time.

I suspect some kind of weird timing/race to the graphic display, but I
can't be more precise ;-( .

I am attaching my code, as well as a screenshot of my pgserver window when
the menu shows up mangled (pgserver is run as 'pgserver -m240x320x1').

Thanks for any help!

-Christian
