Hmm - that's a bit strange ... Does the XGGI server start correctly ?

> 2) "XGGI &" "xterm -display :0" doesn't work without the display option

This is correct. XGGI is only an X server - you will see the same beahviour
with a regular X server.

xterm determines its display by evaluating the DISPLAY envvar. XGGI has no
chance to set that in its parent shell ...

It usually works by xinit starting up the X server (recording the display
it started it for), setting DISPLAY to the recorded value  and then going 
through its xinitrc in a _subshell_ that has DISPLAY set.

Should be easily customizeable to work with other desktops.

Almost there ... LibG** specify options separated by colons ...

However "auto" is the default - just put the right mouse device and type
into the mentioned files.

Yeah. However XGGI should work if you don't suppress the newvt stuff and
start it as root, but well ...
