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.
