I'll be damned!  Maybe it's stopped doing that in 1.0.1.  I've gotten
that on everything prior and also on Phoenix, the browser only
variant.  I mean just exactly that - a prompt to specify a new profile
when opening a new instance.

Also, do you know anyway to cause a remote request to attach itself to
a new tab in the running instance, as does Skipstone?

Tastes vary.  I would prefer a way to dispense with the prompt.

Tell me more about skinning the cat.  I haven't found any
documentation to RTFM thus far.

This is getting far afield from xfce, so if anyone complains, we could
take this off list.
