arachne-svgalib needs to be run directly from the CLI either before
starting X or after sutting down X
If you try running her in a 'terminal window' from inside of X....
she is destined to fail.
arachne-ggi is the one to try from inside of X... not arachne-svgalib
This not due to any problem in Arachne herslf.
But rather it is a basic incompatability between X and svgalib
X and ggi play together nicely.
X and svgalib do not.
