No, I just tried building it in a pbuilder sid chroot, and configure
failed with:
checking for XRRSetScreenConfigAndRate in -lXrandr... no
configure: error: "Suitable Xrandr extension library not found - you
need at least X 4.3"
But it doesn't seem to actually use XRRSetScreenConfigAndRate ...
Anyway, while we're at it, you can cut down the build dependencies to
Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 4.0.0), libgnomeui-dev,
libpanel-applet2-dev, libxrender-dev, xlibs-dev (>> 4.3.0)
and you shouldn't use a dot in the Debian specific part of the package
version, it's not an NMU after all.
