Ken, all, I could imagine that the resources are limited due to an overload of work for too few employees. Maybe we, the community, can merge the patches and later suggest them for Sun-submission via fox-gate or its potential successor or - best - the main X consolidation. This could be done at one or several of us's home Laptop and then the diffs could be donated back to Sun. Everything is open. Requesting features could have been done for Solaris 8, 2.5.1 or 1.0. The new development model is a different one (I found those different development paradigms in one of Sun's expensive late 90ties JavaTutor[T.M.] Programming courses. 5 or so were listed. Forgot the names). I think, if we want new features, then why should we still depend on a closed model from the 80ties? Just merge the current Sun-specific patches into the updated code and keep everything building and functioning. It can be a lot of work. But mostly it should be rather straightforward in this case. All the best %martin
