This package replaces xmbdfed with a switch from Motif to GTK+, xmbdfed
is no longer being maintained.

Hints on how to do the transition in the best way are solicited. Should
I provide a xmbdfed package from gbdfed that will just depend on gbdfed
for transition purposes? Do I need to request the removal of xmbdfed
before I upload this package?
