   ...I enter one move as white, and black's clock starts, but no
   response is forthcoming.  Changing DEF_PROGRAM to name gnuchessr
   explicitly has no effect either.  ps(1) shows only my xchess
   running, with no gnuchessr or gnuchess behind it.

Turns out I needed to supply both (a) the -c option and (b) the full
path to gnuchessr.  When I said
	xchess -c -p /usr/local/bin/gnuchessr
everything ran and I was quickly defeated :-)

Thanks to Dave Avraamides <avraamid@whiteface.crd.ge.com> for the tip.
