I've said it before, though no one wants to beleive, that NVDI 5
breaks a lot of things.  Perhaps now is a good time to acknowledge
the facts and complain to the Behne brothers, instead of turning
MiNT into a huge collection of band-aids.

4.11 no revision (ie: first release).  Note that newer version
of Taskbar (since 2.50) and aFTP (since 1.14) also don't work 
correctly with old NVDI versions.

Could anyone with _intimate_ knowledge of NVDI confirm what
changes since 4.11 could cause these display errors?

Also, can anyone still using 3.xx see if the same thing happens?

Thanks.
