I have an old .login, but my one and only reference to zwgc in
commented out (and has been for a long time), so the problem
is not in my .login file.
A "grep zwgc .*" on my home directory shows the following:
<PINK:/mit/bgardner> grep zwgc .*
.login:# /usr/athena/zwgc &
.login~:# /usr/athena/zwgc &
.oldlogin:# /usr/athena/zwgc &

.xrdbdefaults:zwgc*foreground: #ffc
.xrdbdefaults:zwgc*background: #555
.xrdbdefaults:zwgc*pointerColor: yellow

I didn't understand your comment about ".login.mine"
I have no file by that name.
This would mean that either I am in zephyr's database twice
due to a bug, or that I am running two zwgc's via some other
less standard way. (Note that all the zwgc references about are either
commented out, or are xresource lines).
How do I find out if I am running two zwgc's ?
(A "ps" shows none, neither does a "ps -avg" .)
These double zephr's do tend to be a tad annoying.
(Though, not as annoying as no zephr's at all, I suppose.)
