Does it need to be Oroborosx? I haven't tried it from Oroborosx since I finally got that working. It refused to function for the first few installs. I don't know what I did differently this time. Anyway, I _have_ tried all that within the default Xdarwin winmgr (twm) and it failed. I suppose I'll try this again when I get home from work tomorrow (working a straight 48hrs today/tomorrow). I'll report success/failure then. Thanks for the response.
