That looks like a colormap problem. It's the sort of thing I would
expect to see for an application doing shading effects on an 8-bit
display when it's unable to grab all the colours it needs and is not
using a private colormap.

Joel,
Thanks for the second reply. I don't think this is what the problem is,
however. I have seen the effect of which you speak on other occasions.
The reason I think this is different is because the problem goes with
the client, not the server. I have two hosts, flash and robin. Robin
is the one on which clients exhibit the problem. Gvim-gtk2 seems to be
the easiest to see, as shown in the pictures at the links. If I run the
gvim on robin, the blue strips show up regardless of whether the
display is robin or flash. If flash's gvim is run, the blue stripes do
not occur, even on robin's display. Further, I believe that this is a
GTK issue, since only GTK programs seem to be affect. I just can't
understand why I'm the only one with this problem.
I even installed NetBSD-3.0 on yet another XEN domain and installed the
Gnome packages (compiled on robin) and that host had the same issue.
Just now, I pkg_deleted vim-gtk2 and installed vim-xaw. It does not
have the blue lines.

Joel,
Thanks for helping me fix my DNS problem.  A while back, I renamed
my domain server and didn't fix the CNAMES correctly. Of course, it
worked all along for me because I use a different view. Please try again.

I've waited a couple of days now but those links still aren't
working. The DNS record for www.engholm.org is stuffed:
www.engholm.org. 57m30s IN CNAME smtp.engholm.org.
and then the really fun part...
smtp.engholm.org. 57m23s IN CNAME smtp.engholm.org.
Cheers,

Notice that the window title and menu text have irregular light blue
green backgrounds. This also happens on all of the panel and menu text
for gnome components. Other programs aren't affected, e.g.,
thunderbird, xterm. Further, I don't think that VNC has anything to do
with the problem since using a remote DISPLAY to another server (running
gnome, but not showing the problem for the native session) gives the
same result for the client windows running on the new host.
"rm -rf ~/.gnome*" did not resolve it. I also started a VNC server from
a new user account with the same result. Further, I tried some of the
gnome configuration settings that I thought could make a difference
(font, theme), but they didn't.
Since gnome was listed as one of the notable changes to pkgsrc 2005Q4, I
strongly suspect it's the culprit. Has anybody else experienced this?
Does anybody have a solution or perhaps know of a better, more
appropriate forum for getting help?

Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention the horizontal light blue-green stripes
on the gvim window in the visuals at the links above. Naturally, those
shouldn't be there, either. This is vim-gtk2-6.4.3 from pkgsrc.
