    bring back the ugly pty proxy hack from the initial versions of

+-- The borders on tooltip frames on X are messed up.  More
+   specifically, the frame's internal border (internal-border-width
+   frame parameter) is not filled with the correct background color.
+
+   It seems the border contents are drawn onto by the
+   update_single_window call in `x-show-tip'.  After some debugging, I
+   think the window's background color is not set up
+   correctly---calling `x_clear_area' fills the specified area with
+   black, not light yellow.
+
+   (Done in patch-544.  A background_pixel field was defined both in
+   struct frame and struct x_output, and Emacs got confused between
+   them.)
