That is certainly an advantage...but..
my main problem with xfsft is that it was (when i looked at it) distributed
only as a patch...that doesn't make it easy to package.
That means if anyone wnats to package it they first have to get the X source...
then either incorperate the patch into xbase or split off xfs from xbase
and apply the patch. That could be some work (not to mention a huge source
download)
It will be allot easier once xfs is split off into its own package.
