ANNOUNCE - graphics package

[Peter-Henry Mander]

Hi Joe,

In my case with SuSE 8.2 the .Xauthority list simply doesn't contain localhost. There's 127.0.0.2, and the actual hostname too, but not localhost. I'm not sure how or why it's become like this. Using xhost or xauth as a remedy does work.

It's no fault of ex11, although the demo does fail silently, there's no supervisor to catch the exit value of sw_driver:wConnect/2.

Pete.
