Looking at /bin/login with strings(1), I find a format string that would

I keep trying to remember that dragging the "thumb" still works as expected,
but clicking is an old habit that's hard to drop.
Am I the only one seeing this?

For some reason, the latest x86 stable p7zip wants to force me to remove
'odbc' from wxGTK. This seems wrong, and I'm masking it out for the moment,
but I'm wondering what justification there is.

Having just emerged what looked like a couple of hundred things, many of
them KDE-4 related, I'm surprised that on reboot I'm still running KDE 3.5.
Moreover, there's only /usr/kde/3.5, no 4*. The only change I noticed was
in the background of the login dialog.
One guess is that the flood of newl
eal sender domain
to form localhost.kosmanor.com -- which does not exist -- causing a bounce
from my email provider.
It's better than nothing, because the headers tell me which package is at
issue, and I can look up the elog entry. But it could be better.
Anybody have a fix?

My Xorg.conf does specify some details about the monitor, but no modeline.
I had to put that stuff in there originally to get my preferred 1280x1024
