System name:		steve-dallas
Type and version:	IP22 8.1.16
Display type:		NG1

What were you trying to do?
	Log into an sgi with out having it create stuff in my home directory.

What's wrong:
	/mit/kcr/.desktop_indy and /mit/kcr/.desktop-steve-dallas got created.

What should have happened:
	It should've noticed that I have a .xsession file and _completely_ 
	overidden the SGI stuff.  Or at least provide me with something I can
	create in my home directory (.skip_sgi_no_really_i_mean_it?) that lets 
	me override the SGI stuff.  I would prefer not to have my home
	directory eaten block by block by things created by the system dotfiles.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	I don't know if any of this is documented anywhere.  I sort of doubt it.
