I'm sorry not to test this sooner. Thanks for your work, Scott. 

I've built your new Swarm on an Ubuntu linux system.    As far as I can 
tell, the build goes as expected, but there may be something you know to 
look for that I don't.

I'm testing this with the swarmapps-2.3 package I find in the same 
directory where you post the swarm-2.3.

I notice the "fix" for the nil objects in ArborGamesII has not been 
applied, I'll send a patch as soon as I fix this other worse thing.

I can build programs, but am unable to run programs, however, past the 
Start button. I *think* I've seen a stupid thing like this before, 
possibly caused by the X11 library or the video driver.  Programs like 
Heatbugs or Mousetrap will pop up the control panel and probe maps,  but 
as soon as I hit start, they vanish. I mean, they don't seg fault, they 
die and leave no backtrace in gdb.

$ ./heatbugs
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)

 Minor opcode of failed request:  4 (RenderCreatePicture)

address@hidden:heatbugs$ ./heatbugs  -b
You typed `heatbugs -b' or `heatbugs --batch', so we're running without 
graphics.
Heatbugs is running for 250 timesteps.
It is logging data every 1 timesteps to: unhappiness.output.


./mousetrap
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
 Major opcode of failed request:  155 (RENDER)

This one worries me a bit too,



./mousetrap -b

Let me know what  you think.
