I don't remember how it happens in potato, but in woody it edits a file called /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config . The proper way to do it to make sure it has a sane value and doesn't get clobbered on the next upgrade is to use dpkg-reconfigure. good times, Vineet -- Currently seeking opportunities in the SF Bay Area Please see http://www.doorstop.net/resume/ -- "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." --Beatrice Hall, The Friends of Voltaire, 1906
