I'm using icewm with Debian testing. In the past, whenever I
apt-got a new package, it automatically appeared in the X menus.
That doesn't happen anymore. Now I have to do something like
cd $HOME/.icewm
cp /etc/X11/icewm/programs .
to see new programs in the menus. Why aren't the menus updated

Because of a reinstall I went through it recently again. Some of
the main points are (I think):

Thanks, it worked.
Is there a "system-wide" place where the standard permissions are set?

a) After upgrading from woody to testing, I could not compile
any kernels at all. All sorts of error messages appeared.

The problem was first in the keyboard itself. I cured it by taking

happened right at the time of the upgrade..
But (now using 'testing') I still do not have a perfect keyboard

For a long time now I've been using an old Pentium 75 as the
"headless mail server/firewall/gateway" (running Woody) in my
home, and it works very well.
The only problem is that it is old and I wonder what to replace it
with if it dies.
Ideally I would like to have a new box to replace it, which

This problem is caused in Debian by a mismatch between the defoma
setup and the Xfree86 setup. In XF86Config-4 there is a line Load
"freetype".
defoma must now also know that we are working with freetype (not
xtt). This is set by running dpkg-reconfigure x-ttcidfonts-conf
(as root) and setting the
