Hi. I am glad to hear that someone has looked at the bug report that I sent in, but I can't say that I particularly understood the attached explaination. Here's my dilemia: I had trouble updating xbase-client, and thus the bulk of x-window software from slink to potato. When potato became the stable debain release, I figured I'd better upgrade, but I held the slink versions of xbase-client and the various x-window applications which depend ot it and upgraded the rest of my system. So here is my problem: if I install the potato versions and they still don't work, I won't have the slink versions to go back to (I don't think I can get them from debian anymore) and so I will be left without a working x-window. No fun. Perhaps if you (and by you I mean Darren Benham, his associates, or any wise unix guru who runs accross my email) could explain exactly what the developer did in closing my bug report (#68389), I could figure out if I can upgrade with minimal fear of hosing my system.
