Quite true, but this is analogous to some "cursor dirt" problems - what's
happening is that the ruler isn't disappearing, but that a redraw didn't
happen until the window was obscurred (on unix, minimize then maximize your
window. you get your ruler back). We've had a similar problem with the left
ruler for about 2-3 years now. I've tried to fix it a few times, but have
failed.
Is this a nuisance? Yes. Show-stopper? IMHO, no. I just wanna release and
get moving forwards. If you want to provide a QNX binary built against CVS
Head, by all means please do so. FYI, Gnome 1.4 is already shipping with
0.7.14-2. I don't want a 0.7.14-3
