Okay, I've traced it into the x11drv stuff.  Basically, the 
X11DRV_ExtTextOut function is not drawing the background rectangle for the 
selected text because the dc->backgroundMode is TRANSPARENT.  I'd like to 
track down why that is the case, but it doesn't seem clear how the program 
got into X11DRV_ExtTextOut. . . looks like a CallTo16 thing.

I intend to hammer on it some more when I get a chance; can you point me in 
a direction?

Thanks,
