Interesting that you have solved this problem. This was a bug that I
submitted in the early days of Tiger when I first noticed the problem. I
have not checked to see if it is still open, but the results were similar.
The problem existed on PPC architecture. Interestingly, if you upgraded
from Jaguar to Tiger but did not install the Tiger X11 package the problem
did not manifest itself. As soon as you upgraded to the Tiger X11 package
it would appear. At the time no one at Apple seemed to take any interest in
solving the problem.
I am interested to try this work around on my old Powerbook G4 and see if it
resolves the problem.
