Yes, but it's not Xinerama's problem, and I don't see why it should be bending over backwards to support people using it from another language. I certainly won't be including this patch in my tree. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for C++ (see my .signature), but I just don't see any reason why Xinerama should be doing the extern "C" work itself. > http://ftp.suselinux.hu/suse/i386/supplementary/X/XFree86/XFree86-4.2.0-SuSE/CHANGES > > Where do I go to raise the problem direct at source? http://bugs.xfree86.org. -- Daniel Stone <daniel@raging.dropbear.id.au> <dstone@kde.org> KDE: Konquering a desktop near you - http://www.kde.org
