Masanori (xfontpath's maintainer)? You out there? Is this odd?

No, not too crazy, I guess. Where's .xsession when I need it?
I remember a handful of kluges surrounding similar issues when we
had some X terminals and some Sun workstations and some Apollo
workstations at work. Apollo had their own windowing system, but
we could run X similarly to XDarwin's full screen mode. Sun, of
course, had SunOS 4.1.3 and Solaris {4,5,n}. Oh, yeah, and I
could dial in from my house, too. The [expletives deleted] IT
department thought NFS was the best thing since sliced bread and
gave us *one* home directory (i.e. I had but *one* .profile file)
no matter where we logged in from. But I digress.
Thanks,
Dan
