Well, you read the archives with a web browser, and my web browser happens
to run under the x server that I'm not authorized to run right now. You want
me to use LYNX Eeewww!

Actually, I read the archives about a week ago when this first popped up, and
didn't find the answer.

So, for the moment, I made XFree86 setuid-root and started it by hand, and
then started the window manager and the panel. But since I'm demonstrating
this system to two vice-presidents of HP in the near future, and I'm writing
an article for ZDNet on why Free Software is so cool today, you folks could
be nice and save me some searching.

Thanks

Bruce
