That is so neat!  Thanks for the -display :0 trick.  I can start any
X app that way, and it is really bizarre to run them without a window
manager - but it works.

I was using twm, but somehow the Apt upgrade from Slink to Potato
disabled it.  I will concentrate my efforts on reconfiguring the
window manager.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
