Minor patch 3.1.6 released today. This turns off toolbar enablers if
you're running XEmacs on Solaris; because of strange Solaris problems,
-buttons are disabled too often there. (You can easily live without
-this patch by customizing the variable
-<tt>proof-toolbar-use-button-enablers</tt>).
+buttons are disabled too often there. (You can live without
+this part of the patch by customizing the variable
+<tt>proof-toolbar-use-button-enablers</tt>).
+The patch also removes
+the use of an "interval timer" when
+<tt>proof-toolbar-use-button-enablers</tt> is off, since a user
+reported being unable to start itimers unless
+running as root (likely an operating system configuration problem).
+Thanks to Markus Wenzel and Pierre Lescanne for reporting problems.
