Hi Brice, 

thanks for taking care about some ancient bugs.

I guess it hasn't been fixed so far.  But I've just reported a bug, I've
little insight in X11 development.

Hm, not much.  I was just a user of mgapdesk, and I've contributed my
analysis, which of course may be wrong.  IMO it is now in the hands of
the respective package maintainers to care about their packages.

Yes.  See above.  The maintainers should decide about reassigning the
bug once again.

Yes, I am still running the same hardware.  And no, I'm using Sarge
exclusively for now, although I have an upgrade test bed prepared. 
So, if you really want, I might try to reproduce it, but that would
need some effort from my side. 

HAND,
