Thanks for posting the results.

Those are basically the same problems I encountered a couple of months
ago.   I also tried to compile Xemacs from source and it suffered a
runtime startup failure.   It's puzzling how the Gnome desktop and KDE
work well with all of their complex shared library and data file
loading, but these other packages fail.

Aha, Konqueror.  Thanks for the hint.  I can set up my demo 735/99 with
KDE, Konqueror, and KMail.
