1. Hunt around a bit more, and install the bxforms-0.81 rpm. It's the
more recent version of xforms; I believe you'll find it in contrib.
I'm not sure _what's_ in the .src. rpm. Can't be the actual source;
the xforms people will _not_ release source. One of the reasons that
the LyX team is planning a shift to the Qt package from Troll is that
Troll, while not GPL, releases source for X & unix, and actively
supports the free software idea.
