i've done a little poking around, and i've discovered a little more, 
at least insofar as xplanet is concerned:

it is set to update every 60 minutes, and the program *does* seem to 
run every 60 minutes, in that the xplanet.jpg file in my ~ gets 
updated hourly -- i've been checking. but whatever is supposed to 
transport it to the screen fails to do so. so the apparent problem is 
not in the code that tells xplanet to execute, but in whatever it is 
that lets the new picture in when the old one is overwritten.

is this at all useful? any notions as to how a user might adjust 
anything to fix it? as noted earlier, all was well until very recent 
code.

your wish has been granted.
don't waste it.
