	Well, my script to translate 1.4+ look files to 1.5pre+ format
is done, but I can't get the 1.5pre version to run ... damit. :)  And no,
it's not due to my sloppy look script. :P  I was never able to get the
wharf to show up.  I have spent several hours trying to figure out what is
going on, but I'm just fed up; 19 core dumps and 41 restarts later!  Went
as far as renaming all the /usr/X11R6/bin/<old binaries> so as to not
conflict with the (pressumebly hard coded) /usr/local/bin/<new binaries>.
That's another thing, why change the paths?
	Anyhow, anyone else have difficulties with the wharf not
functioning?  Unadulterated install (step by step), virgin afterstep tree,
etc, etc...still no go. <sigh>
	Another situation which popped up was defining the path to
pixmaps, I pressume these are still controlled by the base#.bpp and I made
the mod's to these files to look into my pixmap directories - couldn't
"see" them.  So I copied the base#.bpp to the share directory, possibly an
overriding situation, nope still not found.
	Maybe I'm just not holding my tongue correctly or
something...<sigh>.
