I gave up on searching Google, and decided to nuke+repave. I'm sending
from my backup ("successor") machine. The original machine now has basic
install plus xorg-server plus icewm plus xterm. The titles on the xterm
window bars are OK, i.e. they are *NOT* missing every second letter. I
still have to install 74 apps from the backup copy I made of "world" and
configure them.
I fear that I may have to do the same with the backup machine. I run
the same configs on both machines. I haven't updated the backup machine
for 63 days, according to the warnings. Hopefully correcting make.conf
right now will save me a second reinstall.

I've seen things, you people wouldn't believe; Gopher, Netscape with
frames, the first Browser Wars. Searching for pages with AltaVista,
pop-up windows self-replicating, trying to uninstall RealPlayer. All
those moments, will be lost in time like tears in rain... time to die.
