Thanks. KDE|Gnome allow various-sized terms and fonts;
it's seriously kool. Probably coded/saved in XML somewhere.

X wouldn't come up without this library. Both startx and
xdm blew up whereas a week earlier (after having scp'd
linintl.so.5) startx brought up Gnome as root just fine.
(I'm learning as I play around... .)

The err stated that I should pkg_delete 3.1.4 first; that
KDE-3.2.0 was trying to install in the same place.
A few hours ago I tried pkg_add to install this. It found
kde but not kde3. Using mozilla I found there was no
"Package" under KDE3.
(I can see myself wasting dozens of hours playing around
with all these toys... Got to watch it :)
