Volker,

Okay, please try downgrading to lesstif-0.93.91-5.  A recompile of grace 
should not be needed.  Just try running it with the previous version of 
lesstif and let me know if this works.

I wonder if grace overrides the Xt VendorShell and if that means it will 
need a fix like Xaw, Xaw3d, and LessTif... I don't even know if an app 
can override the VendorShell.
