     Whenever I start up one of these programs I get several lines of:

     Bad source value for 'String' to 'Color' conversion.
     Bad source value for 'String' to 'Pixel' conversion.

     But eventually a window is created.

The most common cause for this problem is a missing or invalid rgb
database; check to make sure /usr/lib/X11/rgb.{dir,pag} exist (and check
server/include/site.h to verify the pathname wasn't changed).  The -co
server command line argument will also point it at a different database.

As to the overall status of the beta 0.1 toolkit, there is a lot
of cleanup work that is going on (null pointer bugs, etc.) and a lot
more is needed.  We will do what we can to make patches available
before the release 2 tape, but mass mailings of patch files will not
be practical due to the volume.
