Hi Michael,
The upstream man-pages package contains tzfile.5 and tzselect.8 manual
pages, and I am guessing that these are shipped by Debian.
No, only tzfile.5. Debian ships its own version of tzselect.8.

in the Debian tzdata package, the zoneinfo files are in Version 2

If so, this might a symptom of #550042.
The xscreensaver daemon should not run at
the same time as KDE's own screen saver service.

In the proposed fix for this bug, the Xsession.d item
was replaced by an xdg autostart item. So xscreensaver
still starts automatically for every desktop session.
In a KDE session, this causes a conflict between
xscreensaver and KDE's own screen
With XscreenSaver 5.10-3 we shipped xdg and the Xsession.d file wasn't
removed,
Yes, thanks. I did figure that out though.
please remove the Xsession.d and test.
I did that. The problem still occurs. When I
also remove xscreensaver-daemon.desktop,
the problem is fixed.

After installing a few font packages, my situation
is improved with respect to this bug, though
it is not fixed. Weirdly enough - after I purged all
of the font packages I just installed, nothing changed.
I installed exactly the following packages:
t1-xfree86-nonfree
ttf-larabie-deco
I am running a generic testing box. I am not using a
font server - my font paths are hard-coded in xorg.conf.
I have added a few extra font paths.
Because of this bug, the only way I can use emacs
at this time is by using mouse menu commands:
Options - Mule - Set font
and then
Fontset -
This version of emacs21 has been pushed to
testing despite this bug. Now I, and probably
many other etch users, are now also suffering from
it.
