Any ideas?

Wow! I'm running Redhat 7.2. I ran xephem all over the place
on
7.1 also without any problems. Now that I think about it, I have
never had
any problems with xephem until I loaded RedHat 7.2 and that turned
out to
be a font problem. Are you loading it from the CD or did you try to
compile it yourself? Are there any error messages?
I'm ashamed to admit that I should have read the FAQ more carefully.
I'm
running under Gnome and Sawfish. I tried it on a KDE desktop and all
was
well. Then I changed themes under Sawfish and all was well, even on
Gnome.
I feel particularly stupid because before I tried the above simple
fixes, I
downloaded OpenMotif.
But even if I'm an idiot, it's a great program, isn't it? Santa is
bringing
us a telescope this year, and I've got the kids all primed. I loaded
xephem
on all their machines, and they've been playing with it as though it
were a
video game.
