      There is no difference in the start up procs or the way aips
daemons are run between 31DEC05 and 31DEC06.

       The usual way to do this is to run the daemons on the desktop
machine and tell the server that tv=desktop.  The use of tv=local with
$DISPLAY set should work but means that all expose events, image
enhancements, etc cause a major level of traffic over the LAN.

     There is a KLEENEX exit verb that should do this.  But users have
to use it.

    This is not uncommon and is not related to anything important - it
is the proc that has started the latest daemons (I think).

     I have no idea what this function is - we do not call it from our code.

One curiosity - check $AIPS_ROOT/LOGIN.CSH and .SH.  Does LAPTOP get set to yes?

Does Mark include a reference to the LOGIN.CSH or .SH in his .tcshrc (et al) file?
