.4sight and X

I'm running 3.3 on my PI, and for some reason, for users having files
~/.4sight, user.ps and startup.ps, X applications & demos would not
start.  They WILL start from an xterm window.  They also start OK if
the standard windows are used.

I accidentally stumbled on a partial explanation when I did a man on
`xstart`.   So I checked the swich in chkconfig called xSGINeWS.  It
is set to 'on' on my  system.  So it's being overridden by something.
none of the id's have the $HOME/.xSGINeWS file, so that's not it.

Since I stumbled on xstart, the work around is to call this 1st before
calling any X programs, but something is still not right here.
Any ideas?
