Good point :)  eXceed is remarkably slow at drawing certain windows and 
menus in some applications I use, even after tuning saveunders and 
backing store.  Unfortunately one of them is eclipse.  I suspect it has 
something to do with pixmaps.  Cygwin is fast.  I tried Xming but it 
crashes on some apps.

I believe you... I am used to giving my users that answer :)

And it seems the role reversal is complete... because now (after a 
reboot) it works for me, too.

Investigation reveals a case of RTFM deficiency.  After each server 
option edit I exited the xterm that came up from the server start 
script and figured the server went away too (this is common in some X 
configurations, and my systray was shrunk without the X icon 
showing).  So subsequent server restarts weren't taking because the 
first server invocation was still running.

Problem solved.  Sorry to bother you.
