Package: root-tail
Version: 1.2-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I start root-tail in WindowMaker autostart
(~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/autostart)
with the following command:
root-tail -g 700x200+950+850 -fn fixed /var/log/messages,green
~/.xsession-errors, blue &
This does not display anything at all after the X.org update. The only
message I get is
Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion (ISO8859-2)
Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion (ISO8859-2)

Well, good :)
I managed to reproduce this with e16 at one point, but not twm or
windowmaker. Now I can't seem to reproduce it with e16 either.
This makes me nervous, as nothing has changed in the package itself, and
this feels nondeterministic to me. I guess that as it's no longer
reproducable, I'll chalk it up as a bug in one of the X libraries, but
this feels a bit shaky to me.
Oh well.
