I think the problem you are having results from the fact that you are
logging in to two machines, with the same display. (Trying to
'zlocate' you now shows
MOVIES.MIT.EDU pink:0 Tue Apr 18 18:50:41 1989
PINK.MIT.EDU unix:0.0 Tue Apr 18 18:03:37 1989
so both zwgc processes are putting windows on the same display, that
of the machine "pink".)
Unfortunately, double logins like this are something that the
initialization files we provide don't deal with well.
For the time being, if you run into this, you should be able to fix it
by using "ps ux" to find the process id number zwgc job running on one
of the machines, and using "kill -1 PID" to get rid of that one.
I'll put this problem on our buglist. Thanks for the report.
