-
- Xrn displays this message when its app-defaults file does not
- correspond (it keeps version information in both the executable and
- the app-defaults file). Since the app-defaults file is read from the
- local workstation, this would also explain why you are getting
- different behavior depending on where you are rlogin'd into.
-
- So, you should just install the correct app-defaults file onto both
- workstations.
