You don't "ask for" the stipple though. It's the default. The protocol, by the way, does _not_ mandate the stipple. It says that the initial contents are some unspecified two-color pattern made of blackPixel and whitePixel. There is a weasel argument here that having zero white pixels still counts as "two color" I guess. Even if you don't like that argument, we are the keepers of the spec, there's no reason we can't relax that requirement. X -partylikeits1989 sounds just fine to me. - ajax
