	I have an IRIS 4D/240 (twin tower) recently upgraded from
4.0.4 to 4.0.5(a) that now exhibits (randomly) the following strange 
behavior on the graphics tube.
	The login screen ( with visual logins enabled).
		-border surrounding icons oversized
		-user names under icons too large
		-login/password prompt strings over sized
		-text in login username/password windows oversized
		-system_id name in lower left had corner oversized
	  any combination or permuation of the above from no distortion
	  to usually no more that 2 of the above at one time.


	Logged in
		-Workspace - 0/1/2/3 folder or other icons oversized.
		-EMACS-  ocassionaly a window comes up oversized with
			oversized characters. Quit and restart, and
			it comes up proper sized.
		-calendar - sometimes the month days are oversized while
			the date numbers are microscopic.
		-Subscreens under system manager tool, sometimes icons are
			over sized and letters on buttons microscopic.

I can go on but you can see the pattern. This whole thing seems to have 
started about the time I upgraded from 4.0.4 to 4.0.5. There are 3 other 
systems also that have been upgraded from 4.0.4. to 4.0.5 (280,PI,240) 
and show no signs of this problem.

	In a fit of desperation, I brought up miniroot and removed
all vestiges of IRIX and any layered products and went to the miniroot
shell to find and remove any system files that might be left over (includeing
the installation history files but not the files read by chkconfig). 
Then I installed everything from scratch from IRIX through layered products 
to maint tapes. Before leaving miniroot, I restored such files as
passwd,hosts,groups,sys_id. Then I booted up the new system, 
the problem showed up again. The only positive note is that I seem to have
freed up a surprizeing amount of disk space (unused stuff that has 
accumulated since 3.3.1).
	What could cause random Icon oversize or text over/under size???
Any sugestions as to what else to try????
