[Imd-linux-beta_1] install tips and first buglets

[Avi B. <av...@si...>]

Hi all,

Eric thank you very much for releasing the 5Dwm binaries.

Just a few things I noticed:

1. Installation from inside X11 didn't work. My xterm kept on crashing. 
Installation from a text console outside of X11 worked fine.

2. $(HOME)/.chestrc doesn;t overrule the system.chestrc defaults.

3. mxterm doesn't start if I modify the following line in system.chestrc

"Open Unix Shell"       f.checkexec.sh.le "mxterm -fn 
-sgi-screen-medium-r-normal-*-*-150-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1 -cr green"

to

"Open Unix Shell"       f.checkexec.sh.le "mxterm -geometry 80x40 -fn
-sgi-screen-medium-r-normal-*-*-150-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1 -cr green"

mxterm works fine in that geometry if started from a mxterm prompt.

4. tellwm doesn't work on my system.

this is what happens:

avi@legolas:~/tmp/dist/5dwm/imd4linux.desktop.foundation.beta1/src> 
/usr/lib/desktop/tellwm
/usr/lib/desktop/tellwm: relocation error: /usr/lib/desktop/tellwm:
undefined symbol: display

ldd gives us:

5. There are a few minor cosmetic things in toolchest and mxterm, but on 
the whole it looks quite promising ;)

Keep up the good work,

PS. I'm running 2.4.21-rc1-ac3 with XFree 4.3 from CVS on a largely 
self-compiled system based on SuSE 8.1
