It is different than what used to be the default. I know X just enough to use it and write graphical programs with it (yea, I wrote a few xlib apps) I'm not interested in the excessive security measures. What will I do if the defaults prevent our display manager from working? The login and password gets okay'ed by xdm/gdm/... but then it'll stop working... I'm downgrading now, hope it works... > I don't know why > you think your personal bug reports are so important that they demand the > attention of not only the package maintainer, but *also* everyone subscribed > to d-d, but please stop. > Only when I think it is important so that it requires the attention of more people or when there is a conflict with the maintainer. Taking into account the hostile and childish attitude of the maintainer, it is a very appropriate action I guess. I wish I had the kind of education that the so-called maintainer had so that I would call him perhaps "wanker"? as it's popular on this list. So immature... Exchanges with people like that degrade the quality of the work done here. Anyway, I drop this thread. Consider how you might go about upgrading from potato without disappointing users.
