Bug#4221: knews silently overwrites configuration file
Knews should handle an upgrade more intelligently and not simply overwrite
the (possibly customized) /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Knews
configuration file.
I know this is difficult to do right. A lot of Knews functionality depends
on a working Knews.ad and what is necessary there changes from release to
release.
Maybe it should look if there already exists one and give the user an
option to install a new one / back up the old one ... like dpkg does.
Listing it as a conffile is not satisfactory though because it is created
from user-input at installtime.
