Sliding around on LaTeX

I encountered what I think is a nasty X 4 bug at work: when starting quake-x11 on one of our workstations, the machine hung---totally. The owner is going to be pissed. I suspect it's something to do with MIT shared memory, since it, uh, worked over an SSH X-forwarded connection (slow, yes, yes, I know---I simply wasn't thinking).

Four down; two to go

I've finished Thomas Covenant book 2.1 (``The wounded land''). Not as good as the previous books, I think, but still not bad.
