[comp.windows.news] PaintRoot

Redefining "PaintRoot" nolonger works in XNeWS with FCS. If
X is running, my redefined "PaintRoot" gets ignored. How can
I redefine the "PaintRoot" program so it works when both
the X and NeWS servers are running?

	The following added to your startup.ps should allow you to define the
PaintRoot from NeWS. Openwin by default paints the root via X  (a change
which was made to allow xsetroot and other X root painters to work
correctly). 

UserProfile /UsePaintRoot? true ?put

	Then redefine PaintRoot to your hearts content!
