No.  I don't have the Developer Tools disk (a long story) and am trying 
to get one.  I'll certainly do that if I can.

Fink gives me a couple of options, but I didn't see system-xfree86 as 
an option.  The options I see are " xfree86: Free X11 implementation 
for Darwin and Mac OS X" and "xorg: Free X11 implementation for Darwin 
and Mac OS X" and no others.

Hmmm.  Not my understanding, but I'll accept that.  Then perhaps that 
can be excluded from the issue.
