Didn't work; same results. I did "make WITHOUT_GNOME=yes
DEBUG_FLAGS=yes" and then a "make install" with the
same defines. But this does seem to be a nice lead; I'll
check further; I wonder if maybe something changed in the
(Mk?)-system that might be causing this. Afaik xchat is
rather non-troublesome. For example, how do I "know" that
the GNOME support knob is truly "off?"
Ideas welcome,
