My suspicion would be refresh bugs in these applications. Apple's X11
does backing store on all windows, whereas most other X11 servers don't.
They applications may be depending on an extra refresh event that makes
them draw the first time.
Another unfortunate case of doing something better bringing out bugs in
applications.
