You have to invoke the xdemo program with an explicit host spec, as
in "xdemo balls myhost:0" for it to work, at least on the Sun.  I do
know why this is true, but it seems to be the case.  By the way, the
pixmaps for the balls demo are byte-reversed, so instead of circles
you get semicircles that are back-to-back with the convex sides touching.
