I just checked 1.1.6cvs and it also does the resize/redraw problems described above. I don't remember ever seeing this before so I am starting to wonder if it due to something that has changed with WindowMaker-0.65.1 which I upgraded a couple of days ago. It could be that LyX isn't getting the refresh/redraw signals from X/WM. I'll downgrade WM and try again -- but not just yet. In the meantime I see you have changed the implementation of the splash and now instead of being partly cleared I see the splash for about a tenth of a second and then it disappears. This happens irrespective of where the mouse is and how LyX was started. BTW, Preferences->show_banner works as it should so it's not broken in that regard. Allan. (ARRae)
