Well, I have tried every combination I can think of for arranging
xboard and gnuchessx.  The best one I've come up with has

   chess/gnuchess4.0p62/bin/gnuchessx
   chess/gnuchess4.0p62/bin/xboard
   chess/gnuchess4.0p62/bin/bitmaps/*

etc.  gnuchessx by itself seems to work fine.  Running xboard with
-debug gives the following, which doesn't help me much.

Comments ??
