  Is openmotif a default package in Ubuntu?  Will compiling against lesstif 
require it to be installed, which might break other ubuntu packages?

The effect was strange and short-lived.  I opened the interfaces dialog, 
clicked 'add', entered the address of my other workstation's server port, 
and saved it.  when it came back to the interface list, there were no 
buttons.  But when I closed that window, and re-opened it, the buttons 
were there again, and functional.
   I also vaguely remember the window being too narrow to read the 
interface comment, so I widened it.  Now when I open that window, I find 
that it's not resizable.  Neither the sidewalls, nor the bottom right 
corner can be dragged. Hmmm...

Now, I'm trying to figure out the error messages from debuild. I think 
it's wanting manpages for every executable.  And it's telling me it's 
looking for a source tarball and/or a xastir.orig. file in addition to 
the source tree itself.
