10.5.5's X11 breaks compatibility with Varian's VNMR

Hello all,

I've been merrily using Varian's VNMR remotely via X11 with a solaris box for some time, however, today's 10.5.5 X11 update broke functionality with VNMR.  Specifically, there are 3 windows within VNMR, the "menu"/command window, which works just fine, the "spectral" window, wherein directories are navagated and spectra are viewed (which does not work, see below), and the "output" window, where various informations are displayed (Works fine).

The problem here is that VNMR's spectral window, once full of information now remains all black despite any file browsing or spectral viewing activities attempted.  I've confirmed that this is an update problem as several people in my lab have updated, while others have not, and universally those who have not updated have no trouble while those who have, always do.  I have tried deleting the com.apple.x11 prefs and tried the tricks found in previous x11-users posts:

http://lists.apple.com/archives/x11-users/2005/Jan/msg00093.html    (& others from several years ago)

to no avail.  I have also tried to downgrade by installing various different X11 versions from the Xquartz site: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki without any luck.

Does anyone know how to solve this vexing problem?  I can't seem to find any errors in logfiles or the console anywhere unfortunately.
