One added note, I have DRI-CVS installed and am using it. I therefore have
the /usr/X11R6-DRI/bin path in my /etc/profile path statement. When I do
env, I see the original /usr/X11R6/bin instead - a problem. I don't
understand the configs anymore (I once did) since profile and .bash_profile
don't seem to affect much anymore.
