Interessting... my I report the wishlist bug, that it should be possible
with GLSnake to show a specific - uhm - thing?

Acutally, I think calling those things "bugs" is a waste of time...
looking at the Fedora-Installation they seemed to had similar problems,
they do the following:
- { "k's turd",
+ { "caterpillar",
- { "arse gegl",
+ { "gegl",
- { "kissy box",
+ { "ribbon",
- { "erect penis", /* thanks benno */
+ { "shuffle board", /* thanks benno */
- { "flaccid penis",
+ { "anchor",
- { "vagina",
+ { "engagement ring",
- { "Penis",
+ { "Shuttle",
That leaves just two questions:
- What is a "gegl"? I couldn't find it in any dictionary.
- Perhaps we should ask the Debian Women projekt, if it would be okay,
if we replace "vagina" with "engagement ring" ;)
(Oh, I shouldn't have made this joke, should I?)
Well, perhaps it would be easier, if glsnake would just be called with
the parameter "--without-title", leaving everything to the fantasy of
the viewer (BTW: I really think, that the prayer looks quite similar to
the normal penis), but we would then risk getting bug reports of people
who thing that the flamingo is a double headed dildo...
Well, I think I mail the fedora patch to the bts, they seem to patch a
bit more, e.g. removing "bad words" from the barcode screensaver. So we
just risk to get bug reports by people, who get offended by religous
material: glsnake randomly shows a crucifix!
Yours sincerely,
Alexander
