OK, thanks. I'm not sure if it is the brain-dead Sony Viao
laptop I put it on or my KDE window manager, but my
"preview" is a rectangular outline of a box and I never
see any tabs, no matter how slowly I go. But I can get the
windows to pop into the right place now, thanks.

Here is what I do notice now, though. If I open up the
IDL 7 Workspace, this is now a (slow!) one application
machine. Forget about checking the Spanish word of the day
in my browser. It takes about 10 seconds just to get
the window manager to notice I want to open another
terminal window. :-(

This would be a good application to teach an IDL
class on, that's for sure. Everyone could keep up.

I'm going to try moving it over to my desktop machine,
which I just upgraded to 4 gigs of RAM, and see if
it is a little zippier there.

Anybody running this on a Mac? Should I tell my wife
this is really want under the tree this year?

Cheers,

David
