Before contacting the author of this (non-bsd) program, I was wonering if 
anyone had some ideas.

Jeremy helped (ok he DID it) make a pkgsrc Makefile to get 'fluxspace' to 
compile:

http://poff.sixbit.org/tmp/pkgsrc/fluxspace/Makefile

Only when running it the python modules wanted /proc

Never having used /proc before I read the man pages and then mounted and 
re-tried.

It wanted "status" in /proc.

Hm, so, man mount_procfs says you just use -o status:

mount -o status -t procfs /dev/proc /proc
mount_procfs: -o status: option not supported

Is there a way to:
a) get status working
b) alter the python not to use /proc

? I have no clue about python modules so any help appreciated!

Thanks,
