Ah ha. I knew what RANDR was supposed to do, but I was missing that vital status information that they are not complete. Had I known that I wouldn't have enabled them yet. I remember now why I did enable them: Keith made a change to SHADOW to accomadate LAYER, but he didn't anticipate someone using SHADOW like we do, so SHADOW started crashing on startup. I saw his change and thought that SHADOW now depended upon LAYER, so I spent a week or two enabling LAYER support. After I had that working I realized that my crashing bug was still there and that it really had to do with that change to SHADOW. I submitted a fix for SHADOW and suddenly everything was fine again. I never bothered to turn LAYER and RANDR back off after that because they didn't seem to have any negative effects. Now they do :) Harold
