I respectfully disagree to both of you. The original intent of Sorcerer was
for use as a server or admin box, which was most likely to not have X
installed. I realize that Source Mage has slightly moved away from that
ideal and is becoming more user friendly, and that the likelihood that an
SMGL box won't have X is fairly slim. However, the initial ISO install still
does not have X installed, and I don't believe either the /etc/ld.so.conf
file or the PATH should have an initial reference to X. I believe that
casting one of the Xen spells (3 now?) should add the initial references.

Having said that, :^) I'm OK with it either way.
