Pondering can be set on/off via hard/easy commands. Xboard sends
"new\nbeep\nrandom\nhard\n" to the chess program by default. Check
your initString in xboard's defaults. Here is the line from my
.Xresources file:
xboard*initString:new\nbeep\n
This leaves pondering off for both phalanx and gnuchess.
