Needless to say, I have no problem with this. I was glad to hear that X and GNOME Just Worked(tm) for you, Jim. Let me know if there's anything I can do to improve our X packages. It's a shame that someone has quotefiled Ted T'so, who asserted that Debian's X packages were so difficult that Jim Gettys couldn't figure them out. Too bad he got you confused with Dale Scheetz, who remembers 0.93R6 better than he remembers breakfast. -- G.
