X Window strangeness

I have just received X for the masscomp and have encountered
2 apparent BUGS.

One is that the copy and paste does not
seem to work properly between 2 different windows (separate
processes).

The second is that after compiling a XGCL program
that does not load its own colormap, and then running it, entering
the window generated by that program causes the screen to go dark
as if a mask were applied across the entire screen (it looks as though
a masked colormap is being used). Could this possibly have something to
do with xterm highlighting?

Thanks for your insights,

Which release did you install. As far as I know, (using Concurrent's 
numbering scheme) the most recent version is 1.1. What hardware are you
running it on?

W've got 1.1 running on a 5520 with a GA-1000 (aurora) display, and cut
and paste  seem to work properly.

I've seen the same on a 12 bit plane Aurora (aka GA-1000) and found it
distracting, but I didn't have time to persue the issue. (I'm sure it
will come back to haunt me.)  Right after that, I found that (of course) 
I could not get the XGCL  application to use a remote server, so I
shelved that course of action.
