Unfortunately, even with just the words "prog xterm xterm xterm" at the
relevant entry, I still get the same error.  No xterm opens, and there is
just no response at all within X.  When I ctrl-alt-Fx to the virtual
terminal where I've opened X and look at the text output there, the "Fatal
server error: Server is already active for display 0" appears.  This quite
wierd problem has got me stymied.  Anything else I could try?  The screen
is quite tiny - something like 10.4 inches diagonally.  Could that somehow
be relevant?

Thanks, James
