Just to keep you informed about the status about this problem: 1. xteddy is dead upstream and I do not see any chance that somebody will fix the bug. 2. there is a program called cteddy http://cteddy.mangobrain.co.uk/ (_C_omposition teddy) which works with Gtk+ = 2.1 and might replace xteddy. I actually have some packaging stuff on my local hard disk. Unfortunately there are some problems with window managers which do not use composition.

There is some hope for a replacement of cteddy (and I actually setted Provides/Conflicts/Replaces: xteddy for my local cteddy package. imlib11 is scheduled for removal and since the eventual replacement through cteddy isn't related, please request removal from the archive.

Do you mean *now* is there any reason to keep it in unstable for a while? The rationale is that xteddy is not only a cute toy but can be used in some presentation to pop up some transparent images which is sometimes really helpful. If it only would be a toy I would immediately do so, but keeping it in unstable as long as there is no replacement seems to be fair. As an exchange I'll ask for removal of libgtkimreg0 and paul which have the same imlib problem. Is this a fair deal? ;-) Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I was also working on a patch for libgtkimreg but it may or may not be broken (As well as not being completed)...

It does build but segfaults and I'm probably a bit over my head. Hope this helps at least a little. -- If it segfaults the problem is not really solved and I understood your remark a bit over my head as a I have to give up on this. Sorry if I missinterpreted this. I was also working on a patch for libgtkimreg but it may or may not be broken (As well as not being completed)... I would really welcome if you would succeed with this tasks but even as the upstream author I would say that there are probably other more frequently used packages which deserve an imlib1 to imlib2 upgrade more than libgtkimreg. If there is any hope that you will be successful I might redraw my request for removal (or reintroduce it later again). Many thanks for your effort to upgrade this old code!

Please switch to libimlib2-dev if at all possible; imlib11 is in oldlibs and will probably go away before etch+1. I had a look at libimlib2-dev and found out that it is not source compatible with Imlib1 and certain code change is necessary. While this will not be very difficult I'm lacking currently the time to do this. So any patch is accepted but don't expect any action from me in the next couple of weeks. Kind regards and thanks for the hint anyway Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm in the final process of building a house and thus my time is very limited. Feel free to patch and NMU if you like.
