For what it's worth, Opera 9.50 does work on BL 3.5 with the upgraded 
libraries (linked to from the BL site under the directions for installing 
Opera).

As I suspected though, making BL 3 work for an unpriviledged user looks to 
be alot more complicated than just adding the passwd.tgz program. I 
couldn't get Xvesa to run for the new user, for example. I'd say it's 
going to take alot of reverse engineering to set up BL 3 for the need I 
have in mind. I'm not up for that unless professional help--namely from 
Steven--is on offer. I've seen enough in my experiments today to know that 
I don't want to tackle that task on my own--definitely not on top of what 
I've taken on in volunteering to set up this little lab.

So, more on BL 2, under which I presume I won't have such problems. Does 
Xvesa work fine for unpriveledged users under BL 2, or should I stick with 
the full fledged X?

Thanks,
James
