Ah, right.  No, I don't need it in the path for that reason.  I would like
"netrek" in the path to start a client though.  Then again, if other games
are sitting around in /usr/games then that is where we will live.

As long as it does not show as "./netrekd" or something with an apparent
path in it.  Credibility.

Neat ideas.

Hmm.  I've got GNOME up and running on the machine that Petria (my wife)
uses for GIMP work.  I can test installs there, if that helps.  Red Hat V6.0.
