Although the DGL daemon is shipped on all SGI machines, it is not
enabled in /usr/etc/inetd.conf.   Thus although your machine has
the daemon on it, you still must uncomment out the entry in inetd.conf.
The reason for this is that we do not have an "official" port number
assigned to the DGL so we did not want to run a daemon that listens
to that port.  NOTE: this only has to be done on the graphics server,
not the graphics client.  If you  are using DGL a lot, its probably
best to enable it on all your IRIS machines.

Once the daemon is running, there's nothing else to do, ie. you don't
have to rerun the daemon for every application.
