I am aware of one update that Tim Roberts made without increasing the version
number. That update fixed a problem I was observing with xfig. Colors and
figures would appear bloched and aliased. It didnt appear anywhere else. I trust
the driver on Tim's website. It could well be that Red Hat recompiled a
source.....and hence the different size but my ultimate test would be to use
xfig....:-)
