I'm using XFree86 4.3 both at home and work, and quite a few people are using it as well, and I've not seen errors like this, but that's in no way to suggest that this report is invalid. > First, pan dies with this message (this is official Debian package): > > [...] I can't reproduce this - I just installed pan from sid, and it ran fine. > Next, Evolution-1.3 (source packages from Michael D?nzer, which I have > compiled): > > [...] Did you build it against XFree86 4.3, or did you build it on a 4.2 machine?

Thanks for the report; I'm following it up now, but unfortunately I can't reproduce it under any KDE app (either the 3.1.1-1 packages, or my self-built CVS HEAD), or Pan. I'll see how Evolution goes and shoot off a reply. The thing to try would be to see if *every* package is up-to-date sid (or are you using the woody backport?). In the meantime, if anyone on the list can shed any light on this issue, that would be much welcome.
