  Hardly an onerous role, yet no one seems willing to do it. 
  
  As soon as someone emails me with their willingness, I can provide the

  /usr/X11R6/bin to the path in /etc/profile.
 
 Rob,
 
 I'm willing to do this.

Thanks for the offer David... John Marshall has already volunteered
off-list though (after a few questions to ascertain the work it
entails.)

I don't care who maintains it - I'm going to work on the basis of it
being John until I'm told otherwise :}.
