had not known that the X code came from LeForgeron/hgpovray, had assumed the v
3.6 code served as base.

the good thing though is that, irrespective of my .. uncharitable views on
abandoning X in v 3.7 (and "bloat-ware"), the work both of you have done should
make it (relatively) straightforward to introduce the same non-SDL configuration
choices for POV-Ray[*].

[*] I run one machine headless, and I _like_ the way the (povr) X Window scales
itself to proper dimensions when it displays on the desktop.  (the SDL window
doesn't)
