First, I can fully confirm this problem, which has previously been discussed here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7613644 and
http://www.physionet.org/physiotools/xview/

From what I see and read in this discussion, it makes me wonder if this is really an xview problem. Isn't it more a problem of the new X-server in ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty) ?

As has been mentioned, xview applications in older ubuntu releases used to work fine. But even these applications freeze the screen if you let them display there window on a jaunty X.org system! Obviously, the problems have not been created by a change in the xview libraries (I have used several old versions - all have this problem) but rather by changes in the X-server.

I am not familiar with this bug tracking system. Could somebody more knowledgeable please link this bug to the relevant x-server section of launchpad?
