Branden has made the decision that xutils isn't needed on all systems.
He suggests that reading the package description for xfonts-* will say
what is needed.
Considering the number of people that have asked about this, perhaps
this should be re-thought? Or, perhaps, a package
x-most-people-should-install-this should be made available with
dependencies upon one of {xfonts-100dpi,xfonts-75dpi} and xutils.
Or I can update the X task packages to haul in xutils, which has always
been my intention.
If mkfontdir is part of xutils, and people need mkfontdir to install the font
packages, then how can the font packages not use xutils?
The description for xfonts-* says:
This package requires the xutils package to prepare the font directories for
use by an X server or X font server. However, once this preparation has been
done, xutils is no longer needed and may be removed.
OK, but what about when the package is upgraded?
I really don't see how this makes sense. You are deliberately doing
something that the packaging system was designed to prevent. Why? To save 2
megs? People who need space that badly can remove xutils with
--force-depends.

Blur problem
I've been having this problem with X for a while now, on my Sony VAIO laptop. Basically, the behavior I experience is shown at http://flounder.net/blur.jpg . It happens when I move a netscape window (or some other apps) toward the edge of the screen. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I avoided submitting a bug on XF 3.6 because I knew that 4 would be out soon and that it was probably an upstream thing. --Adam -- Adam McKenna [EMAIL PROTECTED] | No matter how much it changes, http://flounder.net/publickey.html | technology's just a bunch of wires GPG: 17A4 11F7 5E7E C2E7 08AA| connected to a bunch of other wires. 38B0 05D0 8BF7 2C6D 110A| Joe Rogan, _NewsRadio_
