OK, please test. I put it in the sgi-desktop1 testing locker. To run it:

	add sgi-desktop1
	scheme

I'm fine with having others test it too and I can install it in a
regular locker unless there are objections or it doesn't work properly.
As far as upstream, I don't have any connections...

BTW, I just followed directions at
