Been there, did that, and while it sort of works, I got similar problems
under X11.  I just switched from the TAF distribution to FreeMiNT 1.12.5, and
actually it is somewhat better, but still doesn't work properly and I can't
launch any programs under XaAES. %^(

That's for sure!  Actually, if you can get the settings in MINT.CNF correct,
MouseBoot will allow multiple MINT configs.

Here's my current MINT.CNF - can you see anything wrong with it?
