I didn't place it there that I'm aware of.  My best guess would be it 
got there when I did a 'make install' with root access one time.  
Perhaps 'make install' did that once and was then changed.  Who knows?  
I did look for docs on how it is set up and found nothing.  But I was 
grepping for 'xboardrc'.

I'll fiddle with things now that I understand what it's looking for and 
why, then report back my findings.
