Helpful only if you have a Linux box . . . Xalf gets built/installed as
part of the Gnome-1.4 meta-port--but no corresponding support is built
into the /compat/linux stuff. For those of us without Linux boxes,
could some one update the XFree support in /compat/linux so I can start
WordPerfect, StarOffice, RealPlayer, and Linux-Netscape from a Gnome
menu. Currently, the only way to successfully start these apps is from
the command line of an xterm--otherwise, they all choke trying to find
Linux versions of the Xalf stuff. Major bummer . . .
