What were you trying to do?
	A new grad student was trying to register on a Dell GX150.

What's wrong:
	The xregister window was too small; the OK button was inaccessible
	on the "choose a username" screen.  I logged in under her, killed
	the twm run as part of the registration process, and started
	one as root with the defailt dotfiles, and resized the window,
	and everything worked fine.
