Details:

When observing a FRC game on FICS right from move 1 (with follow or gnotify)
xboard stays in variant normal. I suspected that xboard doesn't request a move
list in that case. To verify that, I did a triple guest login at FICS. 2
player starting a FRC without moving. The 3rd observes (start position
displayed correctly but variant=normal). After manually giving the "moves"
command for the observer, xboard does switch to FRC but also shuffles the
startposition.
