:-}  Life's like that, sometimes....

Ummm....  That sounds rather more involved than what I would expect....

After the clean install of 3.1-R, I did a bit of tweaking to make it
"play nice" on our local network.

I did *not* change any make-related configuration files, and KDE was the
first "port" I tried to build.  I'm using as "vanilla" an installation
as I can get by with.  (I administer several machines; extensively
customizing each one is not something for which I have time.)

Hmmm....  OK; I'll try that.  I've never used either one (and have no
incentive to do so; I use tvtwm as a window manager), so I have no
pre-suppositions as to what any expected mode of operation might be for
KDE.  (Well, I've used CDE on the SPARCstation at home, but for other
reasons, I switched to olvwm there.)

OK; thanks....  (Is it expected that folks would need to modify this in
order to build a "port"?)

It just didn't seem to show any sign of self-terminating; I only showed
a small excerpt from what it did.

Thanks,
