Package: x11-apps
Version: 7.4+2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

The current package description has two problems.

Its first paragraph is a relic of the days when these apps were in
xbase-clients:

> An X client is a program that interfaces with an X server (almost always via
> the X libraries), and thus with some input and output hardware like a
> graphics card, monitor, keyboard, and pointing device (such as a mouse).

This explanation of what an X client is became pointless when the
word "client" disappeared from the package name, so I recommend just
throwing out the whole paragraph.

Second, three of the listed apps (bitmap, xcursorgen, and xmore)
have no descriptions.  In the case of bitmap, this looks like the
result of an editing error, since the line ends with a comma and
trailing whitespace rather than a semicolon, and since its
associates atobm and bmtoa have fallen off the list entirely.

My patch gives them the following suggested descriptions:

 - atobm, bitmap, and bmtoa, tools for manipulating bitmap images;   

 - xcursorgen, a tool for creating X cursor files from PNGs;

 - xmore, a text pager;
