Um... it IS drawn with XOR. You may have to play with XORValue. From
the 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.

Try 1 (which I use with a black background), then 255 (the default
actually), as I think these are the best bets (unless you have a
TrueColor/DirectColor visual _at_ 24 bpp, in which case try 250, which
worked for someone I know).
