! I too have the same problem with Afterstep and RedHat.  Kind of Annoys
! me.
! 
! If there is a good sized grop maybe some teamwork and a Mini-Howto would
! be in order.
! I am up to working with any of you to help fix this problem.  One nice
! end result of it
! would be, instead of just a quick hack or workaround to address it; I
! would envision a 
! way to rip out Redhats default X configuration altogether (at least the
! parts that annoy)
! and perhaps suggest a change in procedure for the folks in NC.

Mikey,
	If you get this to work, please create a Mini-HOWTO or wsend the
method to Andrew Sullivan for inclusoin in to the FAQ.
