Hmm.  Is this in the same neighborhood as my "cannot fork" problem?  I
routinely have lots of X processes running:

$ ps -uxc |wc -l
      53

And I see that's perilously close to my process limit:

$ ulimit -u
80

unless there's something in startx that changes that.  Should I try
"ulimit -u 800; startx"?  Or is it something more fundamental?  I thought
I'd have to rebuild my kernel, so I was just living with the problem.
