	I had some issues with Xman that caused X to dump
core.  It always left the core file, xman.core, in the
directory I launched X from, usually my home
directory.  At any rate, I don't think that the binary
X packages are built with debugging symbols, so you
would have to download the source and and compile X
with this option included.  
	Make sure you specify a directory into which the X
dist should go if you do build from source, otherwise,
it uses root instead of the normal /usr/X11R6.
