Using Xfree86 is possible but may require much manual configuration. I
also have problems with firefox and claws-mail in windowmaker & icewm,
but not in kde3 or kde4. I suspect there is a library path issue.

I would suggest using the free version of vmware and possibly
virtualbox. VMWare will work and I'm not sure about virtualbox.

I am trying to get Vitual PC Version 2007 to install FreeBSD as a guest
system. I tried first with FBSD ver. 6.3 and that failed by hanging
saying:
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/md0
After looking on the web I found this mentioned in bug
reports but did not see any fixes.

Which syslog facility.level is used for {tcp,udp}.log_in_vain messages?
I want to see these as a rule, especially now while tuning a new system
and firewall, but since running sendmail in earnest (even on our small
scale) there are times when poor old /var/log/messages is rapidly losing

Um... actually you cannot create that as a filename on UFS. There are
precisely two characters you cannot use in a filename.

Hello,
I'm having an odd problem. When logged into a kde or kde4 session both
of these programs work with no errors. When logged into icewm both of
these have a segmentation fault with no errors.
My guess is some required library is not in the path for these gtk
programs, yet they work in kde.

I am running into a problem with the space character in filenames.
For instance, If I want to run the script;
for x in `ls`
do
echo $x
done
then filenames that have a space in them ie: "john smith.jpg"
are processed by my script as two names, "john" and "smith.jpg".
