LXDE has been uninstallable for weeks after being broken by an update and the Iceweasel in the repository has four grave bugs. There's a bug somewhere systemy, I think in GTK, which makes a number of scroll bars misbehave. Synaptic has been occasionally freezing, sometimes taking the whole X display with it, for some weeks. And they're just the ones I'm aware of at the moment... no real showstoppers, but definitely buggy. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
