Re: xcircuit in debian testing
You could manually download it from the Stable repo and install it, but the version would be 3.1.19. The last version that was in testing was something like 3.1.19 and that's way behind the current stable release according to the xcircuit homepage. Check here, that current stable release is 3.4.26 : http://bach.ece.jhu.edu/~tim/programs/xcircuit/ Forrest On Tue, Jun 20, 2006 at 07:20:46PM +0100, Carl Jackson wrote: > Hello, > > I am not sure who to contact regarding this.

Re: Thunderbird and deleting msgs in threaded display
I use Mutt and have no problems deleting 3000 msgs at a time :) It's also more tuned to list browsing.

Have you looked into using Xorg's driver for this? If you have Xorg see 'man nv'.

Gnome doesn't see user's PATH
Hi all! Does anyone know why apps run from the panel aren't aware of user's environment vars, specifically PATH? Example, if Mutt is executed from my panel, I can't execute commands that are in my PATH. If I run it from a terminal window, I can. The same goes for Emacs. I'm using Gnome 2.8.2 in Sarge.
