xtoolwait starts one X client in the background, waits until it has mapped a window and then exits, which can be useful for systems with a small amount of memory or slow disk drives (including bootable CD-ROMs). It was orphaned a while ago (wnpp bug #192675), and I'd like to adopt it, but I'll need a sponsor, because I'm not a DD yet. xtoolwait is a package which hasn't changed much in the past years, and I expect this trend to continue; sponsoring xtoolwait would not take much of your time. You can fetch xtoolwait by putting the following in /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://www.dlitz.net/debian/ unstable/ deb-src http://www.dlitz.net/debian/ unstable/ and then running apt-get source xtoolwait Thanks, -- Dwayne C.
