found 402755 1:7.2.ds2-1 thank you Hi Michelle, This bug is apparently still present in xbase-clients 1:7.2.ds2-1 currently in experimental. Since, we are probably not going to add a patch in our packaging to fix this, I suggest you forward your fix upstream at bugzilla.freedesktop.org, product Xorg, component app/other. Thanks, Brice
