Hi Andreas! I am another root-tail user. I am currently running root-tail/1.2-3 on a Debian testing box, and I am *not* experiencing the bug you reported. I use Fluxbox (rather than WindowMaker) and start root-tail from my ~/.xsession script with the following command-line: root-tail -f -g 538x320+8+64 -font '-*-fixed-*-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*' \ /var/log/messages,green /var/log/exim4/mainlog,yellow /var/log/kern.log,red The program works as it used to do in the past. I noticed that root-tail got removed from Debian testing because of this bug report. Maybe the severity of this bug is a bit inflated: at least, I don't think that the package is unusable, as I use it everyday without experiencing any grave issues. Stephen, what do you think? Should this bug be downgraded to important? Could you please help Andreas in solving his problem? I would really miss root-tail, if it were removed from Debian! > -- System Information: [...] > Versions of packages root-tail depends on: > ii libc6 2.9-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries > ii libx11-6 2:1.2.1-1 X11 client-side library [...] My box has libc6/2.10.2-2 , libx11-6/2:1.3.3-1 and xorg/1:7.5+2 -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/progs/scripts/pdebuild-hooks.html Need some pdebuild hook scripts? .....................................................
