That's the assumption I had (but I have no idea how to 'fix' it).  In 
fact, if you could see it happen... it even "looks like" memory getting 
allocated.  The blocks fill in left to right top to bottom (for the most 
part).  First one block... then another.

Sorry... my comment regarding the "number of replies" was a failed 
attempt at humor.  I realize this is a bit of an odd one.

My follow up to my own message was intended to introduce the new tidbit 
of info I had found (XDMCP Chooser).
