I am having a problem with epoch using the visual bell. In my .emacs
file I have (epoch::set-bell t) to turn off the audible bell and turn
on the visual bell. When I initially set this up, the visual bell was
a very fast flicker of the screen, sometimes barely perceptible.
Later, I observed on a remote client epoch that the visual bell has
about a one second duration. The difference is the DISPLAY environment
variable. If DISPLAY is set to :0.0, I get the very fast visual bell.
If DISPLAY is set to hostname:0.0, I get the one second visual bell -- 
even with a local epoch client process.

My environment is SunOS 4.1 with Open Windows ver. 3.
