I'm having a strange problem: when I try to bring up the new xfaces I
get the following errors:

FaceImageTypeListParse: bad type name: <xpm-shape>
FaceImageTypeListParse: bad type name: <xpm>
FaceImageTypeListParse: bad type name: <xbm-shape>
FaceSearchParse: bad search type: <x-face>

and xfaces can't seem to find its pixmaps (I get a white square saying
"nomail" instead of the no-mailbox pixmap).

The only changes I made to the default app file were:

which shouldn't be a problem. I start it with no args: "xfaces &".

Any ideas anyone? :(
