Actually, this is an fvwm question and not a general X question, since
it is the window manager that draws these outlines.
RTFM - from the fvwm2.man page:
XORvalue number
Changes the value with which bits are XOR'ed when doing
rubber-band window moving or resizing. Setting this
value is a trial-and-error process.
So, you could try setting this in your .fvwm2rc to see if it helps.
Here's what I have and it works ok for me with my solid black
background too:
XORValue 1
But then, the default value of 255 works for me ok too, so I don't
know if it'll help you or not.
I'm also a little confused as to why it's different for some apps
during the same session...
