WOW! You are great! I really mean it, because you "solved" all the problems at 
least, where most of us were stuck.

At least under SuSE 10 this is a known problem, which also applies to xGL.

You might want to add that line to your NODE_AUTOSTART function, though the 
display is not set, so you might want to use 0.5.0 snapshot >= 5, to always 
enable your workaround.
