Well, thanks to a kind poster, I reset my ranges for horizontal and
vertical refresh, as well as the bit-depth in the "display" section of
XF68Config. (Is is XF68 or 86? I always thought it was XFree86, but now
I'm seeing XF68.....?). Seeing GNOME was a first for me -- very, very
pretty and comfortable. Slow, Slow, slow. I wondered if it might be the
wm, Enlightenment, but IceWM and WMaker were similarly slow, so I'm
putting it down it using a non-G3 mac with only 16MB of RAM. I'm
assuming, everyone, that YDL running on a "proper" Yellowdog-approved
machine (i.e. a G3 or iMac) with acceptable amounts of memory can run
the GNOME/E combination fast enough to be usable? Probably. Time to
reture my poor 5400/200, I guess.

Thanks for all your help --
