No. Good point. In any case, I blew away ~/.hugin, and it recreated it. But it still didn't work correctly. In the end I created a completely new home directory (simpler than it sounds, since this is a test box), and things were much better. It seems that configuration information is stored elsewhere as well, though I couldn't see where from running ktrace. The current situation is that I can stitch normal panoramas, including the one in my example. About the only remaining surprise in this area is that when I load the images with the Assistant, it loads the images but doesn't try to align them. Is that expected behaviour?

I spent some time looking for the panorama editor. It doesn't have that text on the title bar in FreeBSD, though I see that it does on Microsoft. > When you can add control points with cpfind or panomatic this part > is okay.
