Hi, I recently installed 18.57 on our Sparc II here, and I'm having
some problems with display-time.  All the files in /usr/local/emacs
are owned by mjr (me), and all the modes are set so everybody can read
all teh .el files and execute etc/wakeup.  Unfortunately, when others
use Emacs, the time flases on the bar, then goes away.  What gives?
Any other user can type /usr/local/emacs/etc/wakeup, and the "Wakeup!"
message comes across, so that seems to be working.  Do some things
need to be setuid or owned by different people or something?

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
