Package: xbase-clients
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-8
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

xbase-clients by now has an installed size of 4,5MB. Quite
a lot for a "base" package. One, that nearly every X
workstation has installed.

It has a lot of specific add-ons, that not everyone needs.

I've tried to create some categories of tools in
xbase-clients:

- diagnostics / debugging:
        xev, xfd, xrandr, xtrap*, xlsatoms, dpsexec, dpsinfo,
        xprop, xdpyinfo, xwininfo, glxinfo, xvinfo, 
        appres, editres, listres, viewres,
        Xmark, x11perf, and x11perfcomp
- management tools:
        xvidtune, atobm, bmtoa, fstobdf, 
- desktop utilities:
        (see Bug#199675)
        beforelight, oclock, xclock, xmag, xload, xeyes,
        xconsole, xbiff,
- demos
        xgc, dga, ico, glxgears, texteroids, xlogo, 
- basic tools:
        xset, xsetroot, xrefresh, xkill, xauth, startx,
        xinit.
        (for xauth see Bug#151613)
- discouraged tools
        both xorg*config tools


The intention of this list is to serve as a starting point.
There are surely hundreds of things, that need to be
changed in it, and it misses some tools from xbase-clients,
that I do not use nor do I have an idea, what they _really_
could do.
