Severity: important


  I've just upgraded a machine from Sarge to Etch, and since I can't
  anymore use my X terminal which has 8 bits depth only, because the
  cairo library (libcairo2) don't handle it :

Error: Cairo does not yet support the requested image format:
        Depth: 8
        Alpha mask: 0x00000000
        Red   mask: 0x00000007
        Green mask: 0x00000038
        Blue  mask: 0x000000c0
Please file an enhacement request (quoting the above) at:
...
(see also debian bug #348109)


  I don't know how to find a workaround for this (I can't change my X
terminal), and all applications using the GTK library are unusable !!

At least a big warning should be put in the release notes.

 If you have any idea for a workaround, please tell me.


  With regards,
	Fred.
