xorg: Thanks for packaging xorg!

2012-02-13 Thread Ben Finney
Thank you very much for the considerable amount of ongoing work to bring us
the X windowing system. In recent years, it has been so unproblematic that
I find it more reliable than Linux!

That makes it ubiquitous but almost imperceptible – a good thing – and
hence probably almost thankless. This is my contribution to reversing that.

Have a great Valentine's Day 2012.

Also, if I might ask further: can you please show your source for the
cursor name associations you are requesting. Probably something in the
Qt docs?

The general problem is clear. But in cloning this report, you haven't
shown where each of the packages needs to be fixed. Your list doesn't
really help me find what needs to be fixed in the package.

Can you please improve these reports by showing what you think is
missing in each of the packages.
