See note below. Fluxbox has been installed for months now. It seems to
be a packaging error.

Package error again as it does not list gnome-themes in Depends.

Package error. Depends on x-window-manager which is not available and
is the only dependence listed.

Thanks for the post. It doesn't solve the X problem but it does
point out, as I intended, the problems with some of the window
managers.
As 3 WM packages 'do not' throw errors, I have to assune it is an
Xorg problem. Maybe I'm the only one using that Viedo card.
