yeah, unfortunately, the NO_XV option is pretty slow and unusable...   I 
guess I'll just have to try and figure out my XV problem, although I 
wonder if I'll ever figure it out -- I have no clue what is even causing 
the problem.  As soon as I get a digital camera I'll take a picture of 
my monitor (an old-fashioned "screen-shot") so I can show everyone 
exactly what I'm talking about.
