Xalf gets built/installed as part of the Gnome-1.4 meta-port--but no corresponding support is built into the /compat/linux stuff. For those of us without Linux boxes, could some one update the XFree support in /compat/linux so I can start WordPerfect, StarOffice, RealPlayer, and Linux-Netscape from a Gnome menu. Currently, the only way to successfully start these apps is from the command line of an xterm--otherwise, they all choke trying to find Linux versions of the Xalf stuff.
