[RP] White on white messages in upper right hand corner

[mcrogan]

I have tried `ratpoision 1.0.0' on a Debian-2.2r4 system, and I have
observed that the upper right hand window which is used to print error
and status messages has a white background and does not print text.  My
best guess is that it is printing white on white, because the size of
the window is changing but the contents are not readable.

I have tried running from a fresh `Xnest' session with no X resources
set.  Some status messages have appeared briefly as black on white, but
then quickly disappear.  I have compiled `ratpoison' with:

# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --exec-prefix=/usr/local --with-xterm=rxvt 
--with-x --enable-debugging --enable-debug

The `src/config.h' is listed below.  If there is any way I can further
debug this, please let me know.  As a side issue I am not sure how to
create full-sized windows once I have done a `split' command, as they
all seem to come up at the smaller size instead of full size but if I
use `ratpoison' a while longer I will probably figure it out.

C-t is a good key binding for commands--so good that I have been in fact
using it for my `screen' sessions for quite awhile.  If I end up using
`ratpoison' I will need to look for another binding.

Please let me know if I can provide further information.  Thank you for
your time.
