libW11 is a hack that has *just enough* functionality to support rxvt. 
If you stray outside this functionality by calling any random graphics 
call, you will either get a crash, graphics not drawn at all, or 
graphics drawn incorrectly.  libW11 is not a API, contrary to what the 
maintainer of it wishes it to be.  libW11 is just a seperate packaging 
of the hacks that allow rxvt to run without modification of the graphics 
drawing routines under Windows.

No beef.
