There seems to be a bug in the xzwrite program. The destinations
window is not coming up the right size. It is too small, and thus only
part of my .zehpyr.dest list appears in the window. However, when I try
to resize the window, the "Close Window" section resizes itself to
compensate for the change, and I still have the only the same portion of
the destination list as I had before.
Please look into this if you can.

I'm willing to bet that it isn't a bug with xzwrite. I'll bet
you're running xzwrite directly out of /afs/athena/contrib/sipb,
instead of attaching sipb and running it out of /mit/sipb.
This does make a difference. Most toolkit binaries, including the
ones in the sipb locker (i.e. xzwrite and xscreensaver), look for an
application defaults file, located at a specified path. If you don't
have sipb attached, they can't find the application defaults file, and
they lose.
If this is what you've been doing, then attaching sipb should solve
the problem. If you already have been attaching sipb, then there must
be some other problem of which we are not aware. Please let us know
if this is the case, and we'll try to solve the problem.
