I've a sneaking suspicion that I participated in the original thread
but anyway, the menus work fine for me. I installed the package,
not the port, off the 3.1 CDs. The only thing that doesn't work is
{shell,cmd}tool. It starts, you can enter a couple of commands but
then it appears to hang. Switching to the console show a continuous
stream of:
TTYSW pty write failure: Bad file descriptor
I was intending to build a debug version to try and sort it out,
but I've got used to using xterm so haven't bothered.
