xlibmesa3 conflicts with libqt2.2-dev
I just upgraded all my X packages, and notice a problem with the
OpenGL pacakages. mesag3 conflicts with xlibmesa3, which is to
be reasonable expected (can't have two versions of mesa on my
system). However, libqt2.2-dev (but not libqt2.1-dev) require
mesag3. Thus development with the latest Qt and the latest X
is impossible.
This might just be a question of updating the libqt dependencies,

eterm supports both -e and -T.
xterm ditto
kterm ditto
cxterm.common ditto
the members of rxvt-ml
krxvt
grxvt
crxvt
crxvt-big5
crxvt-gb
all support both -e and -T
xvt supports both -e and -T
zterm (although I don't have a binary of this to check) claims to support
- -e, but not -T (or any variants thereof). This is a gnome widget, which
forms the base for gnome-terminal.
That's all the linux terminal emulators I can find, and almost definitely
all the ones in debian.
Patching the gnome-terminal code is a matter of the following trivial
patch (I think, I haven't tested this).

I, however, have just installed xfig, which displays the same behavior, both in 2v13 and 2v15 (I also missed 14). Whenever I click on a menu, it quits with the same error, XtMakeGeometryRequest - parent not composite. Is anyone else having trouble with Xfig? sam th [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.abisource.com/~sam/ GnuPG Key: http://pgp5.ai.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xCABD33FC -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE55GRUt+kM0Mq9M/wRAhDKAJoCr+yE3MQn6wAwcuHNT9zljnhGRgCgmbFq pePuIV4kA7PGOhtKbhkBkQk= =Qu8d -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
