If there's an outstanding bug report about it, I'll try, but if Friday
is the deadline there may not be enough time to build and test
everything (this is my first maintainer-build of the debian X
packages, though I've built them before for development, and I don't
want to introduce any but the most *obvious* changes this close to a
release; if the xrdb fix wasn't both *really* obvious [hard to
*pinpoint*, I grant that, and appreciate the work of others who found
it... though electric fence probably catches it; anyway, the change is
correct by inspection...] and actually generating user complaints, I
wouldn't have put it in just now.)

It does overall seem like the right thing to do, though.  I'll note,
though, that the word "shadow" does not appear in the policy or
programmers guides -- could someone look into that and fix it?
