The $1 $2 works for xv without a file name specified, and for opera (but 
there is no way to enlarge the window to fill the screen without a window 
manager).   'x xv' or 'x opera'

Opera is the only X problem I have here that I would use much, and the 
only one that would benefit from saving 2MB, but it works better with 
icewm.  Without a wm I need to use a mouse to change focus so I can enter 
a URL.

Opera is taking up 18.4% of 96MB when run at 1024 resolution.  I will run 
it at 800x600 on the laptops and use a swapfile.
