The X server can run on a different computer than the X clients, therefore it is not a given that everyone wants to install xorg automatically when they install KDE (or any other program that needs an X server for input and output). Even kde-full only "suggests" xorg. -- Regards, | Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
