}Sorry, this message is just asking why you don't put the popclient 
}command in your x-window menu, then all you got to do is only a 
}click. (I did this).  

Well, I do, but I also fire up a call to popclient when I start my network.
Since I start my network at the command line I get the error messages.  I'm
not so concerned with the errors as I am why I'm getting them.  I start my
network on the command line because of recent problems I'm trying to track.

}On my DX2-66/8 meg, it's observable faster than xterm. I also found that 
}the root has less time than a normal user starting up rxvt(don't know the
}reason).

It appears to me that it starts up much faster too, but scrolling seems
slower.
