But if you didn't configure ought to complain about the dependencies.
I'd think.

I don't think I did that, but I'll check.  IIRC, xsm is the only
thing I chose to leave out because it demands rsh.  I never build any
of the "r's".

That's helpful, thanks.

I don't really think I do.  I'd rather speed than eye-candy and
exploding windows.  I think the without-xinerama is only in the server
build.  I'm thinking just rebuilding the server may be all I need if
that's the issue.  I'll see how it goes this evening.
