  Ok, it compiles now.  But it still doesn't work right..I get an endless
succession in syslog of:

  It's even worse if I have an Init/Default script to start xbanner and
xscreensaver since then when gdm starts pingponging it tries to start an
xbanner and xscreensaver each second, not a Good Thing. :-)

  Nothing is hopeless.

  PROOF:
(a) Assume the opposite.
(b) If something _is_ hopeless, then its condition can only improve.
(c) If its condition can only improve, then there must be hope for it.
(d) Therefore, nothing is hopeless.  QED.
