-le should only affect the current selected PART when you move it with
the arrow keys. -le moves an XOR wireframe and -LE moves a solid part.
In general, -le seems faster and less buggy.
Rotation drawing mode is controled by the menu that you get from whatever
the OSX equivalent of right-mouse button is. (Maybe a combo mouse/ctrl
key or something like that?)

Thanks for reminding me about that. It should be moved to a debug
only message. I put it there to let me know when the window thought
it had to redraw due to an expose event. This is supposed to be so
ldglite does not have to redraw everything when you move windows
around, or when those annoying Microsoft tooltips pop up everywhere.
Does this actually work now?

How did that get there? Are these Jacob's color preferences that
somehow found their way into the linux parts archive?

Hmmm, fishy... There's a default color file discussion going via email
that I haven't caught up with yet because I was on vacation when it
got rolling. I wonder if that has something to do with this. For that
matter, I wonder why the discussion is via email and not here. I'll
read up and see what it's all about.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. The ldliterc file is supposed
to be optional. Perhaps I just need to change the message a bit.

Was this done with -LE (Solid moving part mode)? Does -le have similar
symptom? Does tonight's current.tgz file fix the problem? Don't grab
it before 2AM. I think that's when the cron job is set to assemble it.
