Should I use suidmanager and make it suid? There are one or two others who have already signed up for this package: Sami Haahtinen <ressu@rai.rauma.fi> and Jens Ritter <grimaldi@debian.org>. Sami is still in the new-maintainer procedure and has told us that he spoke to the 'already registered maintainer'. I believe he refers to Grimaldi, if not, Grimaldi speak up now. :-) Sami gave us http://www.x11amp.ml.org/ as website for x11amp. I haven't checked if it's the same as above.
