Large window causes monitor to degauss/reset!!

[Jacob Rhoden]

I discovered the problem and describe it for future reference: I had
the correct vertical and horizontal refresh rate range set for the monitor
and X Windows chose the wrong refresh rate for the resolution I was
using (ie a monitor cant use its maximum refresh rate at its higher
resolutions). Decreasing the maximum refresh rate fixed it!

Thanks for your responses.
