[xcrysden] A few issues with Xcrysden

[Bo Qiu]

Dear Radu,

Thanks a lot for the tips, but sadly it didn't seem to work for me. The
technical staff maintaining the university cluster pointed out it might
have something to do with RHEL5 system as things seem to work on RHEL6. I
feel there is nothing I can do from my side then...

Thanks again,
Bo
