Please test my newly created package 'sysprofile' and it's X11 related
portion 'xsysprofile'. It is designed for especially this situation
with a lazy sysadmin on a multiuser machine in mind. It's still not
ready for a final first official release but seems to work as expected
nonetheless. Until i upload a first version to master you can fetch
the packages from "ftp://ntama.uni-mainz.de/pub/debian/unofficial/";.
Currently as of this writing we are at version 0.0.10 with only some
46,840 bytes in 5 files:
sysprofile_0.0.10.dsc
sysprofile_0.0.10.tar.gz
sysprofile_0.0.10_all.deb
sysprofile_0.0.10_i386.changes
xsysprofile_0.0.10_all.deb
Appreciating any feedback, P. *8^)
