I really have to thank you about this as my X setup is far from feeling
whole or stable, and till now I waited for an official X debian release.
Even an unofficial will do, if it works.
Not to offend anyone -again... I think I have that tendency after all- but
you created them so quickly, while there have been 2 months since 3.3.3
has been released and no official debian packaged has even appeared in the
experimental area. I really am curious.

How much disk space is required? I can afford about 30MBs on my space at
the university temporary , but there is the issue of transfering them of
course.
