One of our users had the exact same question.  It seems he wanted to run
X-window based programs under suntools.  The only problem he encountered
was that the sun windows wouldn't refresh.  The simplest solution was to
send a signal to suntools.

Since Sun distributes the source to suntools, it is relatively trivial to
add a couple of lines to catch the signal and call the refresh routine.

On the other hand, has anyone hacked up X so that it can automatically
cause suntools to do the refresh?  That would be much better.
