Dear Tijl,
Thank you very much for your assistance, it is greatly appreciated! I've implemented your suggestions below, and the maple splash comes up, and then hangs. When I run maple in text mode, I still get "maple: could not start server", which I believe would explain the hanging. Any thoughts on why the server won't start? Again, this is happening with linux_base-fc4; this text-mode problem does not manifest itself if I use an older linux_base.
Thank you very much for your assistance, it is greatly appreciated!
Best Regards,
Carl
