Holy SMOKES!!!! <cheers wildly> THAT WORKS!! Is there someway to make
this behavior permanent in xauth?? I'll need to have Wonderland call up
X11 apps whenever it feels like it. Or maybe I'll get the Java folks to
study what you have figured out. I've been asking for this for months.
You have no idea the amount of intellectual bacon you just saved me!

Again, THANK YOOOOOU!! <beaming with tears of relief and gratitude> Ric
