Yeah, I know. We'll get to 'em when we get to 'em. Some of are ancient and are probably from submitters who are no longer reachable. Anyone on this list should feel free to handle the easy cases, e.g.: Existing bug title Should be reassigned to ------------------------------------------------------- xlibs: [Xft] libxft1 xlibs: [Xi] libxi6 xlibs: [Xt] libxt6 xlibs: [libX11] libx11-6 xlibs: [xf86dga] xlibs-static-dev ...and so forth. > Here are some thoughts about remaining bugs: > * Macintosh layouts > #234113 #67812 #111905 #121297 #157170 #166478 > I have no access to Apple keyboards, so I won't try to fix them, > but will be glad to help if some people from debian-powerpc are > interested.

I don't like this patch as-is, but I *do* like the idea (if nothing else, the manpage needs to be updated as well :) ). Would you like to file a wishlist bug and maybe discuss what I don't like about it? :) Thanks again for all your work on these issues. -- G.
