Ah - some cleaning up I have failed to see in the examples I have
learned from? ;-)

Actually, your last suggestion for me to ping my own host put me on the
right track. When I moved to a new office, I lost my permanent ip and
started to use dchp instead. However, /etc/hostname still contains the
old hostname - which of course is not the same as the dynamic I get with
dchp. This also explains why it often takes me such a long time to start
Gnome (something I have failed to discover why until now)...

I must have overlooked something, I will try again. (I am still on
occasion trying to compile a debug-enabled ORBit2 under our AIX
environment - which is somewhat of a pain...).
